I've been reading up consistently on the debate over climate change over the past couple years and these new findings seem to put the ball back in the critics camp as they are finding more "Inconvenient Truths" that supporters of climate change need to grow a couple and start dealing with by adjusting their projection models. If you're interested in this stuff, this is a helpful article. I also recommend watching "An Inconvenient Truth" and comparing it to the UK series "The Great Global Warming Swindle." Just remember that there is a lot of debate and polemical rhetoric that flows between these groups and it's important to have a clear thinking mind about it.

 

Just so there isn’t any misunderstanding, I’m more of a middle of the road sceptic about these things. So, I do not think that “disproving Global Warming” so that people can justify a thoughtless lifestyle in regards to the environment is helpful, but I’ve also found the utter panic that people have embraced no less then empty headed acceptance of the negative because that was more appealing to their “cultural pessimism” to use a phrase from the linked article. There are many other issues in regards to the environment that need attention and I think the greatest thing that can occur by debunking incorrect models is to help us focus our attention on what is more needful to reform rather than simply latching on to a fad.

 

To take an excerpt from the article...

"We should not ignore or suppress good indicators on the environment, though they have become extremely rare now. It is tempting to the layman to embrace with enthusiasm the latest bleak scenario because it fits the darkness of our soul, the prevailing cultural pessimism."
