Bill McKibben avoids the fetal position

Q. Well, how do you stay hopeful, or at least engaged? How do you keep people from just curling up into the fetal position?

A. You know what, at some level I’ve given up trying to figure out whether I’m pessimistic or optimistic. I get up in the morning and do what I can, as much as I can, to try and change the odds of this wager that we’ve undertaken. What keeps me hopeful is seeing the tremendous response of people all over the world. We’ve organized 350.org in every country except North Korea. The thing that makes me bleak sometimes is just how quickly the science grows darker. We haven’t caught any breaks in the last 20 years. Everything that we’ve worried about has come in on the upper end of the projected range or off the charts altogether, whether it’s the melt of the Arctic, or acidification of oceans, or the increase in drought and flood. So we’re clearly not going to stop global warming at this point. We’ve already raised the temperature of the planet one degree. We’ve got another degree in the pipeline from carbon we’ve already emitted. What we’re talking about now is whether we’re going to have a difficult, difficult century, or an impossible one. And we may still have enough room to maneuver to affect the outcome of that question.

Sea level has already risen over nine metres, and rising almost 1 cm/year!

During the last few years, curiosity about the climate turned to anxious concern as politicians began ushering in the topic of global warming for campaign platforms.

“Not only this, but taken together, the world appears to have been warmer when compared to preindustrial temperatures,” said Dr. Chris Turney from the Department of Geography at the University of Exeter.

“Critically, the warmer temperatures appear to have resulted in global sea levels some 6.6 to 9.4 meters higher with a rate of rise of between 6 to 9 centimeters per decade. This is more than double that recently observed.”

Being a university professor is such a great job. You can just make up whatever crap you want and get it in the newspaper.

We could pay off the debt, and then Obama could go back to giving trillions of taxpayer money away to his banker and union friends.

He managed to accumulate almost $6 trillion in debt in only three years, and deserves the opportunity to do that again.

The papers are in full force today saying that migraines incapacitate her for several days every week. (That would put her ahead of Obama, who is emotionally incapacitated every day of every week.)

Seeing as how a presidential campaign is 24×7 for the next 16 months, we will probably notice if she is gone several days a week.

Another claim is that she said “we are in the last days.” She must have been listening to media heroes Al Gore or James Hansen, who say that same thing every day.

The world must be coming to an end.

Al Gore says that unprecedented extreme weather is the “new normal.”

“24 Hours of Reality will focus the world’s attention on the full truth, scope, scale and impact of the climate crisis. To remove the doubt. Reveal the deniers. And catalyze urgency around an issue that affects every one of us.”

It has been well over 1000 days since the most extreme form of weather hit the US, a hurricane. It has been almost twenty years since a category five hurricane hit the US.

Here is what denier James Hansen said :

What’s happening to our climate? Was the heat wave and drought in the Eastern United States in 1999 a sign of global warming?

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.

No, it isn’t 112 degrees in Minnesota.

As Jeff Masters would explain it, global warming has changed the saturation vapor pressure of water in the atmosphere, and we can now get up to 120% relative humidity. Maybe even 300% relative humidity.

At Fred’s talk last night, alarmists kept remarking that the oceans have been heating steadily for decades. As you can see, some parts have heated all the way up to an anomaly of minus four degrees.

It is very “brave” to lie before an election.
