[Maybe this explains why all corals don't go extinct every thirty years?]: Some corals might survive global warming - UPI.com
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Feb. 15 (UPI) -- A U.S.-led team of scientists says corals harboring unusual species of symbiotic algae might survive global warming in water too warm for most other corals.

I sent the question to a wide variety of people [note that Revkin's "variety" contains a heavy concentration of climate scam promoters], from Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to the author Terry Tempest Williams. The initial batch of answers is posted below. What’s your answer?

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon:
...How will we feed, shelter, and educate three billion more people by 2050 in an era of accelerating climate change, resource scarcity and environmental degradation? We need to redefine our relationship to the planet, and in so doing, build a more equitable society for all.
William M. Briggs, Statistician » On the Morality of Global Warming Criticism
I call on Gavin Schmidt, Kevin Trenberth, Tom Wigley, Phil Jones, and other top global warming scientists to repudiate the language used by Messrs. Krugman, Pachauri, Hansen, and Nye. Scientists—especially in the wake of “climategate”—should issue a public statement admitting that criticism is not treasonous, is not conspiratorial, is not a crime against humanity, is not unpatriotic.

[at RealClimate] Lies on top of lies. Not good. If they want to understand why their community has lost so much credibility, they need only look to their own actions.
[At least he didn't die of kidney stones or dengue fever]
William Henry Harrison delivered the worst inaugural address in history on March 4, 1841. No question about it.
...
Yes, fatal. The calamitous speech killed the new president.

Harrison, who was 68 years old, was not wearing a hat or overcoat on the snowy day. He caught a cold while delivering the seemingly endless oration, and his condition developed into pneumonia. A month later Harrison became the first American president to die in office.

Robert Muir Wood just called Roger out

4. Does RMS believe the IPCC has fairly represented the research findings?

Yes, RMS believes the IPCC fairly referenced its paper, with suitable caveats around the results, highlighting the factors influencing the relationship that had been discovered between time and increased catastrophe costs. We believe it was appropriate to include the RMS paper in the report because, at that time, it was the only paper addressing global multi-peril catastrophe losses over time that had been normalized for changes in the values and exposure at risk.

RMS is not Muir.
.
Also the RMS statements are obviously false to anyone who reads a the conclusion:
.
"We find insufficient evidence to claim a statistical relationship between global temperature increase and normalized catastrophe losses"
.
and compares it to the IPCC report with the fake graph.
