   Well, don´t know about you, but personally I surf with http://www.treehoo.com the web that plants trees for most of its profit. What a simple and genious way to help our planet. Can any other webportal beat that?

   “projected regression through June 2099.”

   I apologies for my potty-mouth in advance, but this is bullshit.

   Well, after over 30,000 scientists have come out as “skeptics” of global warming, then comes news from the “global warming people” that in fact the earth will be going through a 15 year cooling cycle due to ocean currents and then start RIGHT BACK UP.

   Someone really needs to tell these people that there are things called cycles. It’s a tough subject to wrap the noggin around but it’s fun to watch the arguments fly.

   Chris - it would be fun to watch apart form the almost fascistic response any kind of questioning about these issues prompt in the majority of people.

   Personally, I don’t believe in Sacred Cows…

   Random tip: check out a book called Wilhelm Reich in Hell by Robert Anton Wilson I have a feeling you’ll dig it.

   Very interesting stuff going on here…

   If we can stay around long to capture data like this for the next 100 years we’ll have interesting patterns to model off of.

   As Jim Hansen says, skepticism in science is reasonable, but contrarianism is not.

   Please read Mark Bowen’s Censoring Science on Jim Hansen’s journey as the world’s leading climatologist navigating between science and policy.

   Those who do not accept the findings of the 99% majority of scientists, it appears, are “on the take” by institutions funded by the fossil fuel industry (primarily Exxon/Mobil) - these include handfuls of scientists even as places such as MIT. Look at a “denier” - they are either an evangelist or have their salaries PAID for by the industry. If the science was inconclusive in the ’80s - it’s certain now.

   [...] Le premier calque, produit à partir des données fournies par le Centre Hadley, décrit la concentration en dioxyde de carbone depuis novembre 1999 jusqu’à octobre 2099. Et des marqueurs commentés accompagnent l’échelle de temps pour souligner les impacts spécifiques à certaines régions d’un changement de climat global. Le second calque utilise des données fournies par le British Antarctic Survey et illustre l’érosion de l’Antarctique, avec une progression de la régression jusqu’en 2099. Les deux couches sont disponibles dès maintenant, et vous permettront aisément de comprendre pourquoi nous serons foutus si nous sortons sans nous enduire de crème solaire dans les années à venir.
