What particularly interested me was the
number of scientists who had been pushed out
of CSIRO, or had left
of their own volition, after being tightly censored in what they could say about global warming, and the emissions reductions that would be needed to stabilise the climate (the latter point is particularly sensitive since any
actual number implies a target and government policy is opposed to targets).
Based on more recent research, however, a
number of scientists suggest this could occur in a few centuries, and some, like Jim Hansen, seem to think the change could occur even more rapidly, although it is not completely clear if by this he means the commitment to this much rise or this much
actual rise during the 21st century.
When he presented his misleading graph, when he said 97 %
of climate
scientists agree, (knowing full well the
actual situation that the
number is bogus and misleading,) when he mentions adjustments to satellite data but not to surface temperatures with major past cooling and absurd derived precision to.005 * C, when he defends precision in surface global averages but ignores major estimates
of temps and krigging in Arctic, Africa, Asia and oceans or Antarctica, he forfeits credibility.
The frontpage for the conference website makes a

actual scientists (and even fewer climate
scientists) that labeling the speakers as «
scientists» is misleading.
As for the
number of scientists actually doing climate science, properly defined, even if «only» 620 appear as
actual authors
of the sections in IPCC - 2007 science report, this work is supported by well over 2,000 climate
scientists whose work in the peer - reviewed literature is referenced in that document.
Since to me (and many
scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare
actual climate
scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half
of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression
of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the
number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx
of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends
of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels
of ghg has stabilized.
