In a sharp change from its cautious approach in the past, the National Academy of Sciences on Wednesday called for taxes on carbon emissions, a cap - and - trade program for such emissions or some other strong action to curb runaway global warming.Such actions, which would increase the cost of using coal and petroleum — at least in the immediate future — are necessary because «climate change is occurring, the Earth is warming... concentrations of carbon dioxide are increasing, and there are very clear fingerprints that link [those effects] to humans,» said Pamela A. Matson of Stanford University, who chaired one of five panels organized by the academy at the request of Congress to look at the science of climate change and how the nation should respond.

It's very clear (thanks to Steve M, Willis etc) that there are issues with both but given the current hyped claim by the «warmers» that the past effects of man - caused global warming have largely been masked by the warming of the oceans and that unless we reduce CO2 emissions now that we won't be able to mitigate future global warming when this «stored heat» eventually comes back out of the oceans and leads to catastrophic effects, I'm very interested in getting to the punchline of this debate on SSTs.

Because the basics of anthropogenic global warming are fairly straightforward — CO2 is a greenhouse gas, because of the lapse rate water vapor condenses or freezes out in the troposphere and acts mainly to amplify the effect of CO2, humans are burning a lot of fossil C and increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere, the surface of the earth is warming, the cryosphere is retreating, the climate that supports civilization is rapidly changing, and consequently we are facing an uncertain future — but the details are complex, it's easy to «misunderestimate» the way climate works in detail.
