The Climate Criminals project: A five-pronged approach to climate solution - AMERICAblog
the disruptions to us all of an abrupt stop and energy conversion, however great, will be minor compared to life in a chaotic 3°C, 4°C, or 6°C warmer world. Life in those worlds will be hell.
THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper finds a natural 60-year oscillation in global mean sea level
A new paper published in Geophysical Research Letters "finds that there is a significant oscillation with a period around 60-years in the majority of the tide gauges examined during the 20th Century, and that it appears in every ocean basin." The authors note "The phase of the 60-year oscillation found in the tide gauge records is such that sea level in the North Atlantic, western North Pacific, Indian Ocean, and western South Pacific has been increasing since 1985–1990", meanwhile the figure below shows the eastern North Pacific and SW Pacific phase may have bottomed around the year 2000 and may be on an up phase currently. The authors note that "the possibility [of a 60-year natural cycle] should be considered when attempting to interpret the acceleration in the rate of global and regional mean sea level rise."

...They have drawn conclusions based on data that we are not allowed to see.

If Stirling has up-to-date information that conclusively demonstrates how dire this situation is, why on earth has he – or whoever collected it – not published that data?
