if you didn't know, today was the day of live earth, a series of concerts to remind people that our world is in big trouble. I'd say the only trouble we have is that we're listening to them. sure, some of the music was good, so it's not all lost.
I found a very interesting post regarding climate change, looking at the "proofs" of ipcc and pretty much disclaiming all of them. too bad it's in swedish...
this is an interesting quote though, by kevin trenberth, one of the main authors of the ipcc climate report:
"In fact there are no predictions by IPCC at all. And there never have been. The IPCC instead proffers “what if” projections of future climate that correspond to certain emissions scenarios. There are a number of assumptions that go into these emissions scenarios. They are intended to cover a range of possible self consistent “story lines” that then provide decision makers with information about which paths might be more desirable. But they do not consider many things like the recovery of the ozone layer, for instance, or observed trends in forcing agents. There is no estimate, even probabilistically, as to the likelihood of any emissions scenario and no best guess." (source)
