Thrre was a report judt last week released by the NAS and the UK Royal
Society indicating that switching power sources will not help.
Secondly, the behavior of pols and the super rich are not consistent
with this new report, or fears of an insurging ocean. This peaks my
suspicion. But fear not, I am but a submicron with zero influence on
public policy. I just am suspicious of the ruling class using academic
hucksters to glom more power-highly intelligent hucksters though they
may be.

According to Chris, "Climate is not the weather" or the local weather.
So if this suggestion is correct, its local anomalies over the years,
driven onward, by El Nino' or La Nina' ? According to a report
released, last week, by the Royal Climate Group and the US
national academy of sciences, a change in energy sources will not help
us. I had to read it twice to comprehend what the report indicated.
Are you talking about the report
at http://dels.nas.edu/resources/static-assets/exec-office-other/climate-
change-full.pdf ? If so you have totally misunderstood "what the report
indicated", page B8 shows that climate models predict the "Aggressive
emissions reduction" scenario would result in much lower global
temperature in 2100 than the "'Business as usual' emissions" scenario.
They do say on p. 22 that "If emissions of CO2 stopped altogether, it
would take many thousands of years for atmospheric CO2 to return to
‘pre-industrial’ levels due to its very slow transfer to the deep ocean
and ultimate burial in ocean sediments", but even if temperatures don't
drop for a while, as long as they don't rise to levels much above what
we have today, the consequences probably wouldn't be too bad (for a
discussion of the likely consequences of each 1 degree rise, check out
the book "Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet" by Mark Lynas).
