PG&E Executive Takes a Cold Hard Look at Global Warming [claims to believe the alarmists, but doesn't say what evidence he found convincing]
"Because of the position of PG&E" as one of the nation's largest corporations, with an essential role in supplying reliable power, "we were able to meet with the top scientists on both sides of the issue," Mr. Darbee said. "And we challenged and worked with, very extensively, the top scientists on both sides of the issue."

"And out of that we came to the conclusion that those on the side that said climate change is a pressing and urgent issue really were most persuasive in that regard," he said. "In fact, we were surprised at how weak the case was for those people – some of whom have big names – [but] really didn't present a persuasive case to suggest that climate change wasn't a big issue."

[From alarmist Robert Swan] : Driven by a romantic journey at his heart
Three years later, he gathered a team of eight people from seven nations in an attempt to reach the North Pole. “You basically walk across a frozen sea.” It went well — at first. “We were 1,000 km from land. No radios, no helicopters, no submarines… just us. Suddenly we found the ice melting under our feet. This was four months before it was supposed to melt — we were tasting and touching climate change for the first time. It was terrible. We thought, ‘Wow, we're dead.'”

Their solution was to ‘cheat time.' “It was summer so there was day light 24/7. So we walked for 40 hours at a stretch… 40 hours without stops — because every time we stopped we'd drift south. People had frostbite. Some people's heels fell off their feet. It was the worst thing that's ever happened to me.”
