Maybe their silence is caused by knowing there is nothing they can do to convince people, and they figure that since there is also nothing that can be done to stop it, why subject themselves to the harsh criticism of those like Inhofe?Bill Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551954408189665078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-34658747851398569902012-01-09T18:48:03.208-05:002012-01-09T18:48:03.208-05:00irishwildeye, what's most unsettling is to wat...irishwildeye, what's most unsettling is to watch the climate scientists passing this data back & forth among themselves & not saying anything...rjshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681812432224138582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-81646671551090889102012-01-09T18:16:17.308-05:002012-01-09T18:16:17.308-05:00rjs this is indeed very worrying stuff.

Confirmation bias in action, cold winter weather proves there is no global warming but very warm winter weather proves nothing.irishwildeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13653892284914268881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-38597373231342740122012-01-08T13:44:09.354-05:002012-01-08T13:44:09.354-05:00Well said, BenjaminTheDonkey!

People who either deny global warming or think it's going to be gradual, incremental and manageable are in for an unpleasant surprise. Tipping points thanks to amplifying feedbacks have been passed, and a violently rapid destabilization appears to be imminent. What's so pathetic and crazy is that this outcome has been known for years, but almost completely disregarded:<br /><br />http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2012/01/doing-maths.htmlGail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-60517700169474263852012-01-08T11:56:00.673-05:002012-01-08T11:56:00.673-05:00We’ve worked ourselves into a spot
