Deforestation may have far greater consequences for
climate change in some soils than in others, according to new research

Paul D... As a part - time alarmist I would answer that
with a little bit of extrapolation added to some warnings of
climate scientists I guess the worst case scenario at least includes the total collapse of the WAIS, creating tsunamis at least all over the Pacific rim, the subsequent sea level rise of c. 7m will destroy most of the remaining harbours, communication centers near coasts, next up would be the melting of the collapsed ice in the southern ocean altering the
climate of the entire southern hemisphere, making it near - impossible to guess what areas are good for similar agriculture as before,
leading to massive movements of people.
Jessica Tierney,

My take is that the tug of war over what's causing today's telegenic heat waves, floods, tempests — and even Arctic sea - ice retreats — distracts from the high confidence
scientists have in the long - term (but less sexy) picture: that more CO2 will
lead to centuries of
climate and coastal changes
with big consequences for a growing human population (for better and worse in the short run, and likely mostly for the worse in the long run).
«The scientific talent
leading these studies, the partnership
with industry and access to their facilities, and the diverse research methods used, gives us the confidence that when the project concludes in late 2014, we'll be able to greatly increase our understanding of the
climate impacts of switching to natural gas from other fossil fuels, through this unprecedented collective research effort,» said EDF Chief
Scientist Steve Hamburg.
Here's my exchange
with Frank Hailer, the
lead author and a
scientist at the Biodiversity and
Climate Research Center in Frankfurt:
Steve, aside from the fact that Climatology is not a «debate», so there are not 2 sides, the comment section posts here are NOT «the blog», that consists of the
lead articles by the group of
scientists known as «Real
Climate», for which see the Contributors link, the comments are from folks like you and me, generally non-
scientists with varied opinions and sometimes clashing personalities.
Leading climate scientists believe that maintaining carbon dioxide levels in excess of 350 ppm will result in runaway global warming
with catastrophic impacts to humans, wildlife and ecosystems.
Two years after James E. Hansen, the
leading climate scientist at NASA, and other agency employees described a pattern of distortion and suppression of
climate science by political appointees, the agency's inspector general has concluded that such activities occurred and were «inconsistent»
with the law that established the space program 50 years ago.
«Our study shows that very high
climate sensitivities are virtually impossible, suggesting that we still have enough time to deal
with the problem and reduce carbon emissions, which could avoid the most severe impacts,» said Andreas Schmittner, a
climate scientist at Oregon State University and the study's
lead author.
Noah Diffenbach, a
scientist from Stanford,
led off
with some strong data on
climate change.
We believe that policymakers, the media, and the public should pay attention to scientific expert credibility and the well - vetted comprehensive assessment reports prepared by a large number of the
leading scientists — in particular the new IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, along
with the National Academy of Sciences (4 - volume America's
Climate Choices report) and the National
Climate Assessment forthcoming from the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
For good measure, Tunmore followed up
with a blog post that same day in which she claimed that IPCC personnel are the «world's top
climate scientists» and that the IPCC is the «world's
leading authority on the science of
climate change.»
The NASA GISS
Climate Change Research Initiative (CCRI) is a year - long STEM engagement opportunity for STEM educators to work directly
with NASA
scientists,
lead research teams, and develop STEM curricula for their current classes.
We should continue to support broadly - authored scientific assessments, also including the U.S. National
Climate Assessment now ongoing, as the best vehicle for engaging the
leading scientists in a well - structured and systematically reviewed format,
with comprehensive references, and so forth.
As
scientists, policymakers, diplomats and environmentalists begin to converge on Copenhagen for
climate talks, the integrity of
leading climate change researchers has come under attack; a release of some 1,000 hacked e-mails from the University of East Anglia in Britain has created a stir,
with some suggesting the e-mails demonstrate hoarding of and manipulation of data by
climate researchers.
If you're relatively familiar
with the
climate «debate», you will know that the rapid cooling period from the 1940's to the 1970's
led to
climate «experts» (
climate scientists) declaring the end of life as we know it, in the form of the «Global Cooling» scare:
But look far more carefully into this, and the widening situation around it
leads to a maddeningly tangled source situation that ultimately does nothing to alleviate the problem of the smear of skeptic
climate scientists — including efforts to discredit the Oregon Petition — appearing to be intertwined
with a small clique of enviro - activists who have barely any separation from Ross Gelbspan.
The role of SEPP is to act as chairman of NIPCC, the otherwise informal network of
scientists under whose name the
Climate Change Reconsidered series appears; coordinate efforts by the Center to identify and recruit
scientists as
lead authors, contributors, and reviewers; convene NIPCC meetings during the research and review stages to share research and debate areas of disagreement; and participate
with Heartland in the release of the report as a spokesperson for the effort.
McIntyre filed or coordinated the filing of dozens of FOIA requests to
climate scientists at East Anglia beginning in 2007,
with the pace escalating significantly in the months
leading up to the leak.
The campaign actually started on February 14, 2012, when Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute and a
leading climate scientist, sent to liberal activists and sympathetic journalists several documents he stole from The Heartland Institute, along
with a fake memo he claimed was also from Heartland.
With all the interest in alleged misdeeds of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change and hacked email exchanges among climate scientists, it is easy to lose track of the compelling strands of scientific evidence that have led almost all climate scientists to conclude that mankind is altering climate in potentially dangerou
