Climate Sensitivity Estimates: Heading Down, Way Down? (Richard Lindzen’s New Paper) — MasterResource
MIT climate scientists Richard Lindzen and collaborator Yong-Sang Choi soon-to-be published paper (Geophysical Research Letters, American Geophysical Union) pegs the earth’s “climate sensitivity”—the degree the earth’s temperature responds to various forces of change—at a value that is about six times less than the “best estimate” put forth by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The smaller the climate sensitivity, the less the impact that rising carbon dioxide levels will have on the earth’s climate. The less the impact that CO2 emissions will have on the earth’s climate, the less the “problem” and ability to reverse the “problem.”Australian Climate Madness: Climate madness in Queensland
From the "I'm more moonbattish than you" department. Huge swathes of coastal Queensland are being declared off-limits for developers as the government bases its planning decisions on the IPCC's sea level predictionsAmerican Thinker: My Global Warming Epiphany
Our global warming "engineers" seem eager to move to the final stage of their project: cut with an axe. Something's about to get capped all right, and not just your CO2.Taking the Fun Out of Fighting Global Warming | Newgeography.com
Moving Cooler would employ such measures as charging home owners up to $400 annually to park in front of their own houses, placing tolls on now-free interstate highways (up to $0.05 per mile by next year) and pushing as much as 90 percent of future development into existing urban footprints, in the vain hope that cutting driving would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a similar amount.

The Moving Cooler strategies would not only force people to live in ways they would not voluntarily choose, and for scant gain and no reason. Moving Cooler’s radical measures need to be rejected forcefully. There are better, more effective and far less intrusive ways to reduce greenhouse gases.
That would, however, probably take the fun out of fighting global warming for those whose real intent is telling others how to live.
