  Papers or abstracts of papers?

  I am a layman. I have finally decided to begin looking into the global-warming issue, which I now see is many issues, not one.

  One of the many sub-issues is the issue of "consensus."

  Did the study cited in the article above examine only abstracts or did it also examine whole papers?

  If only the former -- as some GW denialists claim -- wouldn't that tend to leave out comments of dissent?

  One of the reasons I am asking this is because I am beginning to get a glimmer that one repetitive controversy is over methods used.

  P. S. -- Can someone point me toward a list of notes documenting Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth? I thought I would start with that because so many people have recommended it to me.
