The interesting part starts around page 97. I found it to be a kindly written review. But there were many issues addressed. For instance the parts relating to probability and certainty of claims. The article I quoted was obviously not so kind.

Excuse me could we have a moderator change the title of this thread?
Apparently Global warming is out and "global climate disruption" is in.

The White House wants the public to start using the term "global climate disruption" in place of "global warming" -- fearing the latter term oversimplifies the problem and makes it sound less dangerous than it really is.

Unfortunately, the fact that global warming can cause localized cooling, and even if it doesn't, it doesn't cancel winter seems to be too subtle for many. Perhaps the new terminology will cut down a bit on the midwinter calls of "where's the global warming now?" Or pointing at one glacier growing when the Arctic melts.

I agree that most are too ignorant to understand the complexities of it. Especially when fed by the extremists, but I thought the term climate change was there for that.
Oh well I'm sure it has nothing to do with that particular man having the web address ;)

No way, the next blizzard we have I'm cursing Global Warming... and the government... and several major Deities. :bitching:

Don't forget to add Al Gore to your list.

He has a flair for writing.

In a few brief hours, we are told, the snowy superfortresses will be above us again, bomb bays bulging with blizzard. It may be that in the next hours and days we have to step up our de-icing, our gritting and our shovelling. So let me seize this brief gap in the aerial bombardment to pose a question that is bugging me.

EU weather troubles blamed on a shifting jet stream. Interesting.

The jet stream shift is related to polar warming.

TheMercenary 12-22-2010 10:21 AM

How can you prove that?

I thought it was related to Al Gore.

Pico and ME 12-22-2010 10:29 AM

I googled it. You can too.
