Cooler climes makes humans and other animals more industrious, jimmy. Have to prepare for winter. Accumulate and bury nuts. Got to build houses and burrows. Can’t just lay around on the beach sipping coconut water and rum. Where do you go for vacations, jimmy?

I know a lot of rich people. They don’t in disposable real estate. You don’t know much about people, jimmy.

Comment on Ethics and climate change policy by blueice2hotsea
Feynman: True science is ethical.
Marx: Communism is a non-ethical science.
Feynman: And science is analytical, quantifiable and falsifiable.
Marx: Communism does not need equations or tests.
Feynman: Communism is not science!
Marx: Not physical science. But I’m a social scientist.
Confused: I am both a communist and a physical scientist!
Feynman: You are an oxymoron.
Confused: And climate science is a baffling conundrum. When is ethical behavior forbidden, mandatory or optional?
Marx: Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and honest.
Feynman: Hoo Boy!

Some random thoughts:
My grey eyes would explain my fast reaction times.
Some of my ancestors were Neanderthal.
Cold weather stimulates me. Warm weather makes me just want to lie around and drink iced tea.
Colder is better, unless you are a reptile.

A study relevant to natural variability. This suggests that in periods of weaker Pacific tradewinds warming increases like 1910-1940 and 1970 up to 15 years ago, while in stronger tradewinds like now and in the 60’s, warming weakens. Each phase is up to 30 years and it suggests warming will strengthen again as the tradewinds weaken.

Don M, if you are a rich South American, like those buying the new Miami condos, you are not using it as a primary home, mostly as an investment, time-share, or renting out. If its value declines as sea-level rises, it is either not a big loss to them, or they don’t know about sea-level rises affecting Miami due to a good sales job.

Don M, I am on vacation, and yes it is a different timezone, and yes it is sad that I am still reading your comments on vacation. Hopefully the next couple of days will be a bit more festive.

Call me a pendant, but Webster’s dictionary say “someone” is a person, not two people. Your split personality may explain your confusion.

Comment on Week in review by John Smith (it's my real name)
the WP Miami condo spin
laughable obvious spin by alarmist
FLA real estate is being bought by wealthy international investors
who do their homework
and as a result have little fear of loosing their investments anytime soon
the sea level rise boogeyman is the dumbest thing in this debate
and just about all the alarmist got as far as I can tell
I suggest Mann and Hansen hold their breath until real estate prices in Manhattan start to decline
I wonder how much smaller the island is since it was bought for beads and copper
prior to the horrible onset of anthropogenic global warming

Tony, Merry Christmas to you. I wonder if anti-greenies use rainforest trees as XMas trees just to spite the greenies.

Looking at the Richard Tol article, has being a Prof. become a license to take public money in exchange for pretending to be, <em>holier than thou</em>.

Tony, I’m sorry for putting my post in the wrong place. It has nothing to do with your tree.
