Default Re: Earth may be near tipping point

Another week has gone by, now it's 1928 heat records broken in the U.S.

Here is an interesting article & YouTube from the NYTimes,

David Roberts on the Simple Climate Problem

The challenge I took on was to convey the gist of my “brutal logic of climate change” post in a reasonably short amount of time, using as little scientific jargon as possible. Just: there is a problem that calls for urgent action. Business-as-usual means disaster.

This is all gloom and doom — not even much humor. I know that turns people off or shuts them down. I know people need to feel a sense of hope and efficacy. I know — indeed, have recently been writing — that we need a vision of a sustainable future. But I needed to do my own version of “Danger Will Robinson!” Just to get it on the record.


There's always the outside chance all of these scientists are stoopid and stuff, God knows they sure aren't cashing in making big bucks by spouting all of this global warming stuff.
