Romm apparently felt the need to remind me that AR4 is "already about three years out of date," and he's right, something AR4 rarely has been.

But the awareness of black carbon’s role in climate change has come so recently that it was not even mentioned as a warming agent in the 2007 summary report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that pronounced the evidence for global warming to be “unequivocal.” Mark Z. Jacobson, professor of environmental engineering at Stanford, said that the fact that black carbon was not included in international climate efforts was “bizarre,”...

That's the NY Times, no less...

“...writers daring to question greenhouse gas orthodoxy are guilty of endangering the ‘health and well-being of countless billions of people.’”

Well, if I’m a murderer, what does that make Rachel Carson?

Wow! There sure are a lot of numbers being bandied about. Sometimes I wonder if it's done to confuse people. If I assume I understand what I just read, it looks like all of the Globull Warmers are using a very static model to illustrate what will occur this century unless the U.S. pay lots of money to Thirld World countries (which will somehow abate GW - ????).

Aren't there mitigating circumstances? Doesn't nature respond to changes in its own way? Look at what happens after a hurricane - calm wind, sunny skys and balmier temperatures. The earth has made it through Ice Ages and hot and cold trends before. I'm sure it can handle anything Man throws at it.

Remember, the earth's ecosphere is alot less fragile than some people seem to think!

Arctic sea ice (as of 4/16/2009) is now at the highest level it's been since 2003.

Good article & post. Keep it up!

What can you say about the math skills of someone who claims that global warming in endangering “countless billions of people” when the entire population of the Earth is 6.77 billion? Other than that he obviously can’t count higher than 6.

With all the attention given to CO2 and global wrming/cooling, suppose that the earth is shifting from it’s 26 degree tilt from its’ axis to some other. Will algore write a book, make a movie, will Larry King star,,,,,,,stay tuned tinfoilytes great times are acomming.

It’s about the tax money, not the environment.

blogger Joe Romm... decided to take me to task, defending not his frail forensic performance but rather the three over the top projections he squeezed into this opening sentence -- which I challenged as alarmist exaggeration: [The emphasis remains mine] "On our current emissions path we are going to warm the United States 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century and sea level rise will be 5 feet or higher and a third of the planet will be desert."

Cool trick, since over 70 per cent of the planet is covered with water. :')

Thanks neverdem.

This was addressed in the the last 15 minutes of the The Great Global Warming Swindle.

Seems convenient that third world populations as well as the poor in developing nations are left out of the equation while the more affluent and technologically advanced shoulder the blame for a non existent, politically motivated malscientific theory.

If the current administration's lackeys fall in lock step promoting this sort of perverse scientific fiction, populations in nations in the Third World that are in distress will disappear. After all, we are the largest benefactor to those people.

I checked with Bartleby and found no form of the word "elaboration" that might describe his claim that he was referring to the Southwest United States when he said "a third of the planet will be desert." We'll get back to that later.

Great post, neverdem. This guy's smart and funny. I can see why the liberals hate him so much - he mops the floor with them.

This is a MUST READ!!!
