Climate scientists have warned that as the planet warms, extreme events will increase in frequency and severity. The physics are quite straightforward.

NunatsiaqOnline 2011-09-01: NEWS: Controlling soot could reduce warming in the Arctic: scientist

A new study of dust-like particles of soot in the air provides fresh evidence that reducing soot emissions from diesel engines and other sources could cool down the Arctic faster and more economically than any other quick fix, a scientist said Aug. 31 at a conference in Denver.

In his presentation to the American Chemical Society, Dr. Mark Z. Jacobson of Stanford University said his study shows indicate that controlling soot could reduce warming in the Arctic by about 2 C within 15 years.

That would virtually erase all of the warming that has occurred in the Arctic during the last 100 years, he said in a news release on the presentation.

How Scientific Debate Should Be Conducted [With John Nielsen-Gammon] | Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.

[Pielke Sr] There is also conflicting information on the other climate metrics that you present, such as glacial retreat. It is more complicated as there are quite a few glaciers that are advancing. This variabibility illustrates why we need to examine regional atmospheric and ocean circulations as the more important metric to assess climate. The never-ending drought and heat you have had to endure this summer is due to a regional circulation feature, not a global average surface temperature anomaly. Parts of western Europe are reported as having their coolest summer in 50 years for example.

John Podesta: Climate Change Deniers are the ‘Know-Nothings’ of this Generation | ThinkProgress

John Podesta, CEO of the Center for American Progress, told Climate Progress that climate change deniers are the “Know Nothings” of this generation. The former Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton was referencing the American nativist political group in the mid 1800’s that spread irrational fear about immigrants.

“I’d call them the know nothings of the 21st Century – the people who are really just denying reality,” he said in an interview at the National Clean Energy Summit. Watch it

Why doesn't Podesta publicly debate one of these know-nothings (say Monckton or Morano)?  Wouldn't that be a great opportunity for John to demonstrate his superior knowledge?
