[Legal Planet: Environmental Law and Policy] Climate scientists surely have much to contribute on the question of what impacts climate change will have on people and ecosystems, but so do ecologists, sociologists, economists, political scientists and many others. And the third question, what can and what should we do about it?, is primarily addressed to the political community as a whole, although technical expertise is surely important in understanding what responses are feasible.

[ClimateScienceWatch] NOAA Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook evasive on climate change ...: Whether the characteristics of tropical cyclones have changed or will change in a warming climate - and if so, how - has been the subject of considerable investigation, often with conflicting results”¦.[I]t remains uncertain whether past changes in tropical cyclone activity have exceeded the variability expected from natural causes. However, future projections based on theory and high-resolution dynamical models consistently indicate that greenhouse warming will cause the globally averaged intensity of tropical cyclones to shift toward stronger storms”¦.[H]igher resolution modelling studies typically project substantial increases in the frequency of the most intense cyclones, and increases of the order of 20% in the precipitation rate within 100 km of the storm centre.

[Renegade Conservatory Guy] Climate Change Skeptics | Is there really a Climate Change Hoax?: If then you can get your head around which bits make sense and which don’t according to your own level of comprehension , then make your call , I have to fall into the climate don’t knowists , the overall climate has changed , will change , and continually do so , and while we know there were ice ages and volcanoes and dinosuars I really don’t think that current science has the definitive answer for half the shit that goes on or went on. The book of revelations tells how the earth will burn and how it all ends , and for any given event or catastrophe in civilisations or personal circumstance it may be true ,but climate science it is not , and it is very difficult to isolate what is , but at least some people are keen to find out, and long may it be so

[Bad Astronomy] Climate Denial Crock of the Week | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine: It is available, but you have to spend a couple of days digging through stuff like the IPCC report, highly technical publications or climatologist’s blogs. This is because it is common knowledge between the people in the field, and, at the same time, the journalists apparently believe that the public is unable to understand a simple mathematical formula (or rather they are unable to understand it themselves).
