I'm reminded of the New York Daily News, a rabid anti-gun paper. More than once, they've shown a picture of a city politician holding up a shotgun with the phrase "...one more automatic weapon taken off the streets". It's really hard to hold an intelligent and meaningful discussion with someone that doesn't even know the words for the discussion. We are all engines of karma

But, even in the IPCC's own words, catastrophic global warming events won't start happening for another 100 years or so... We are all engines of karma

For those interested in technical details, in addition to Michael Mann's online course, I came across another website: ACS Climate Science Toolkit This, too, looks good. We are all engines of karma

e.g., the EPA shutting down our coal plants. And doing so isn't going to have any impact on global warming. The EPA is proving itself to be dangerously reckless with ever costly mandates that aren't close to being economical. These mandates are going to hurt real people right now. Thanks for the nuclear papers. Happy to see that. It is the only way forward, IMO, for a carbon free system. We are all engines of karma

I was rooting around the internet for some model details, and came across this: Understanding Global Warming It's an online course put together by Michael Mann from Penn State. It looks good. We are all engines of karma

I'm convinced it's a special effects video. Just want to make sure, and see what other people think. We are all engines of karma

@BIGUN... Through long ago threads where people actually managed to keep on topic, billvon made a couple of posts that really piqued my interest. This prompted me to start digging, and I came across this book of seminal scientific publications that shaped global warming science: The Warming Papers: The Scientific Foundation for the Climate Change Forecast This is an outstanding book that pretty much covers the entire history of global warming science. For example, they include this 1896 publication by Svante Arrhenius On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground, in what can be considered the first global warming paper. And many more seminal papers. I've found myself following a trail of papers by Syukuro Manabe, who started doing serious modeling work back in the early 1960s, and has proven to be an incredibly prolific scientific author (Selected Publications, Syukuro Manabe) One cannot argue the physics of CO2 radiation dynamics. Having said that, some interesting points I've come across include: 1) Water vapor is by far the dominant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It is responsible for almost 60 degF of warming. Our species would not be here without global warming. 2) There is still much work to be done regarding all of the various driving forces active in Earth's climate. Clouds remain a big question, one that has yet to be solved. Is a 2-3 degF increase in temperature going to be catastrophic? I kind of doubt it. Is anything being espoused by our government going to make any difference in this process? No, there is nothing being discussed by our government that is going to change this one bit (Impact of Current Climate Proposals) All that's going to change is government will grow, have more power over our lives, and take more money out of our pockets. If it was really going to be catastrophic, I imagine some adults somewhere would be advocating/driving a massive push to nuclear energy. I don't see that happening. As a matter of fact, lefty greenies don't want it, and continue to advocate energy sources that will not meet our society's energy needs. So, I guess the AGW threat really can't be that serious.
