...is the Climate Post from Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions; online here at Grist.
Most interesting - Sharon Begley's Newsweek article about using fractional risk attribution to pin the blame for extreme weather events on climate change.
Most disturbing - with high emissions and strong carbon cycle feedbacks, we could reach 7.2 degrees F as early as 2060 - when the toddler next door will still be younger than I am now.
She deserves better than that.

New policy re climate contrarianism comments as of 11/11/2009:
Comments questioning the climate science community's understanding of climate change (97% of active climatologists now believe that the earth is currently warming and that it's human-caused - link) will be deleted unless the commenter:
a) is local
b) uses his real name
c) provides link(s) to substantiate his claim(s)/inference(s)
d) is willing to collaborate on constructing an argument tree, to get us past the usual sterile point-counterpoint-countercounterpoint.
(For people who can't read the above, a summary:
1) Be civil;
2) Don't post w/o giving at least a pseudonym;
3) Don't espouse climate-denial crankery unless you're local and willing to stand behind it.)
Caveats:
1. Comments could be delayed: they are being moderated, and I'm sometimes away from the computer for a day or more.
2. : Perfectly legitimate comments are sometimes miscategorized (by the blogging platform) as spam, & not published. If this happens to yours, please notify me, else I might not notice for a day or two.
Hi Anna,
ReplyDeleteYou asked a question at MT's blog.
There is a rudimentary website at. Membership in the club is incredibly easy. Simply send your dues to the 501C3 deployment partner, in this case Leo High School 7901 S. Sangamon st. Chicago,IL . Write replace fossil on the memo line. You are now a member in good standing and have just purchased one unit of energy transformation.
Let me try that linkagain
ReplyDeleteMt is not at all interested in this, at least until it is sufficiently put into practice for him to judge its merits. Rather than impose on his hospitality, it'd be better to answer you questions here.
ReplyDeleteWe're just beginning our work and should, in a week or two, have an upgraded website with specifics on the project committee, sponsors, and events.
Paul, I don't see any mention on the replacefossil.com site, of who the co-chairs ("experienced financial adviser and president of one Chicago's leading PR firms") are - is this public info? (and if so, could you share it please)
ReplyDeleteThanks...
Anna,
ReplyDeleteI hope my previous comment answered your question. Others will be in charge of press releases, roll outs, websites, event planning and advertising. My role is mainly growing "energy club" membership.
Do your questions come from an interest in participating in our effort?
> I hope my previous comment answered your question.
ReplyDeleteActually, it didn't, which is why I asked the followup.
(Further comments back over at the Tobis thread, please.)
Anna,
ReplyDeleteMT has made it very clear he prefers not to have this discussed on his blog. I have already thanked him for his responses to my comments. It might be better to go to Barts.
