Tweet John Chait in New York Magazine, has a thumb sucker balancing between glory and despair about the upcoming Paris conference For human to wean ourselves off carbon-emitting fossil fuel, we will have to use some combination of edict and invention — there is no other plausible way around it. The task before the world is best envisioned not as a singular event but as two distinct but interrelated revolutions, one in political willpower and the other in technological innovation. It has taken a long time for each to materialize, in part because the absence of one has compounded the difficulty of the other.

The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional.

Tweet Recently Doug Keenan has again taken up the cudgels against the Met Office with backing from the usual suspects and indeed, the Met Office has taken a decision not to engage further.  While the Met Office thinks  that some things Keenan says are interesting and very brave, with the greatest respect and they will hear what he says and bear it in mind, well, they choose not to devote further time to dealing with him.  A feature of these attacks are Keenan’s claims that the best time series analysts tend to be in finance ( see comment ).
Tweet Starts about 15 seconds in: "We can see it and we can feel it – hotter summers, rising sea levels, extreme weather events like stronger storms, deeper droughts, and longer wildfire seasons, all disasters that are becoming more frequent, more expensive, and more dangerous." More backing for my argument that climate communication to the public should use the " can feel it in your bones " approach. Obama is talking about things people can experience directly and compare to their past.
— Dan Davies (@dsquareddigest) July 31, 2015 Istvan’s comment at ACPD denigrates both the Hansen et al paper and David Archer’s requested review on the grounds of there being no evidence for abrupt sea level rise in the Eemian, but rather than a dry recitation of the gist, allow Eli to simply quote Istvan Archer’s comment shows how lax the climate science community has become about it’s ’Facts’. Archer, a Hansen paper reviewer, says the Eemian showed abrupt SLR the way Hansen models for the Holocene with CAGW, which gives the paper strong support. And then goes on about further support from WAIS observations such as Hansen co-author Rignot’s recent findings.
