I recently stumbled upon an ABC 20/20 segment titled "Last Days on Earth" including interviews with Hansen, Oppenheimer, and others and warning of "billions of casualties" and implying the possibility of 40 feet of sea level rise within a century.
You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Zk4-JPCdg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XClNHfmFDog They include a segment with Hansen where, the way the quote is cut, he seems to be implying that a complete melting of the Greenland ice sheet prior to 2050 is possible. Now, the question is, how is something like this any better than TGGWS or its brethren, and should the scientists interviewed in this film have objected when their words were used out of context or to imply impacts more severe than those supported by the science? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
