It seems that ice started forming around 1,000 ppm of CO2 on your picture. And what’s the meaning of the ‘implied’ on the left side. Is this more imagination?

And even at 1 meter every 10 years, that not much before the anthroCO2 is re-sequestered. Somebody has scared the pants off of you.

AnthroCO2 is a Calaisian fireship, not an Antwerpian Hellburner. Work around it, don’t panic and generate mitigatory disaster.

Roger,
You mentioned ‘both sides’ that, sadly, seems to be the case. So this comes down to are you on the side of the black youth or the white cop? I purposely used black instead of african american since I used white instead of whatever lineage the cop is. Are we really that polarized? Is it possible to believe part of what the consensus coughs up and still take some of what the skeptics seriously? I guess not, one has to pick side.
In all seriousness, can one just regret the incident and feel sad that a young man lost his life but at the same time hope that justice is served in the case against the policeman? As I said above perhaps a good hard look at police training should take place. I don’t know if they are trained in threat assessment but it looks like to many of these situations occur when the police rush in to situations where they should instead stand off.
A few years ago here in Fullerton CA, just down the street from me, a homeless guy named Kelly Thomas was beaten to death by police. There was no news about it until a british newspaper had a picture of the victim, taken by his father, in a story and it went viral. The first policeman, who had delt with Thomas before, was responding to a possible robbery. Thomas had a backpack with papers that didn’t seem to belong to him (turned out it was stuff he picked up in a dumpster). The cop was having trouble with Thomas and he put on a pair of gloves and told him he was going to eff him up. He started to beat him and then his partner, who was inspecting the bag, joined in and back up came and four more cops joined in. One smashed his face in with a taser. It turns out the cause of death was afixiation from all the bodies on top of him. It was all caught on a permanent police camera set up in there area and watched real time at the station. Thomas’ dad was formerly in law enforcement and actually trained officers in marshal arts and the use of force. The DA tried three of the cops. They were acquitted believing a cop expert witness that the officers followed police training and procedures.
I just have to wonder what these police are taught? Shouldn’t there be a push to review police procedures? Shouldn’t they be better trained in threat assessment and use of force? Something is seriously wrong there. They are suppose to protect the pubic safety not pummel citizens.

It’s highly unlikely that mitigation will destroy the economy. Just as it’s highly unlikely that global warming/weirding/whatever it is will destroy the world’s economy.
But it’s a great way of identifying those at either extreme of the rainbow.

Many thanks for those two links. It was great to see the background.
I really liked Max and was very pleased to have met him and his wife in Switzerland a couple of years ago. He had a great interest in climate science and the physics involved and was also keenly interested in past climates. He lived in an area where previous silver mines had been worked in Roman times, then became iced up as the climate changed.
He was very interested in my historical work and I shall miss bouncing ideas and information off of his very agile mind.

“Instead of a disinterested and dispassionate leviathan….”
I assume this was sarcasm. No leviathan in history, and there have been many, has ever been “disinterested and dispassionate.”

I asked JImd a few days ago whether he didn’t think Obama had far more important things to worry about than AGW but he danced round the answer.
There is a Nato summit this week. Do you think Obama will display the leadership that seems to have been so lacking the last few years?
Unfortunately the world is full of unpleasant groups and they respect strength and action not weakness and playing golf. At least Obama wont have the opportunity to talk about AGW but will he talk about the things that Matter? Security. So giving people the luxury to worry at their leisure about things such as AGW.

Max was a gentleman who could disagree without being disagreeable. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. His views on attribution and whether anything was in fact being measured and not merely the product of theory alone were strongly held and made intuitive sense to me. Correlation is not proof of causation and in any case there is considerable doubt in my mind that CO2 and temperature changes are even correlated at all.

Access to energy is the big playing card in current world strife. It’s a very odd moment for Western leaders to sleep-walk away from energy independence and industrial strength. Very odd moment indeed.
One wonders how clean and green a politically destabilised globe might NOT be.
Sorry. Sorry to talk shop, Barry. You were discussing your seven-iron approach?
