Modeling Ice Age's End Lessens Climate Change Worries | The Resilient Earth
As Timmermann and Menviel say at the end of their perspective, “Ultimately, breakthroughs in our understanding of Earth's climate evolution will come from close interactions between paleoproxy experts, paleoclimate modelers, and climate dynamicists. It is time to train a new generation of scientists familiar with all these fields.” Perhaps that is also the solution to the global warming debacle, the arrival of a new generation of better trained, more widely knowledgeable climate scientists. A new generation of climate scientist who understand that climate models provide insight not proof.
Kerry Trueman in the Huffington Post: Light A Fire Under Your Council Member To Curb NYC's Carbon "Foodprint"
Do you count yourself among the thousands of New Yorkers who worry about climate change? Are you bothered by the lack of access to fresh, healthy, affordable food in so many NYC neighborhoods? Would you like to see more gardens take root all over our city, in front yards and back, vacant lots and empty rooftops?

If you answered "no" to any of these questions, I'm going to hazard a guess that you're some kind of Limbaugh-loving, Beck-boozled, beyond-the-Palin lemming who will hopefully follow your near-sighted leaders off a cliff before you've had a chance to mate and perpetuate your unfortunate species, which, alas, is not yet on the endangered list and threatens to destroy our habitat.
