Really Fast, Really Soon | Real Science
Sea level will start rising really fast, really soon. Temperatures will start rising really fast, really soon. The Arctic will be ice free really soon. Greenland will melt really soon. Antarctica will melt really soon.

I have been hearing this same crap for most of my life. It is beyond pathetic.
David Suzuki: 24 Hours of Reality speaks up about climate change
We can’t argue with people who deny reality. All we can do is to make sure the voice of reason speaks louder and that those of us who care about humanity join together to find better ways to live on our Earth. Visit ClimateRealityProject.org to find out how you can tune in to 24 Hours of Reality. Choose the presentation and time zone you want, or take part in the entire event. You can even set up viewing parties with family, friends, neighbours, and colleagues. And spread the word. We need to speak up for the future of humanity.
C3: Spencer Cloud Research Uses IPCC Gold-Standard HadCRUT Data, But New Dessler Study Avoids Gold-Standard Benchmark
Objectively, if the Dessler rushed peer reviewed research is the best that mainstream climate scientists can deliver against the Spencer and Braswell study, then it's a case closed. Clouds do appear to be a negative feedback mechanism within the climate system as the Spencer 2011 work suggests.
Spencer & Braswell: Part III | Climate Etc.
Bottom line: S&B and LC papers do have flaws, as discussed on previous Climate Etc. threads. Dessler (2011) adds relatively little to this debate. None of these papers are particularly useful in evaluating the sign or magnitude of the cloud feedback.  [Wait a minute: The science isn't settled!?]
