I was struck by the strong language used in the paper (and borrowed
for the Independent headline):
"(d ) Planet Earth today: imminent peril
The imminent peril is initiation of dynamical and thermodynamical
processes
on the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets that produce a
situation out of
humanity's control..."
Hansen is certanly abandoning the scientific reticence he complained
about previously.
What I want to know though (from the climate scientists preferably) is
can you rule this idea of Hansen et al out?
