Seriously: What If Global Warming Fears Are Overblown?

Don't just blow this off as more "denialism". If you really do care about global warming, you owe it to yourself to read it all. Jarrett Plonka asks: What if global warming fears are overblown? He links to a CNN Money interview with John Christy, former lead author on the IPCC.

"Christy is actually the environmental lobby's worst nightmare - an accomplished climate scientist with no ties to Big Oil who has produced reams and reams of data that undermine arguments that the earth's atmosphere is warming at an unusual rate and question whether the remedies being talked about in [the US] Congress will actually do any good."

Then he asks what if scientific consensus now said that the whole 'icecaps melting and flooding the earth' was an exaggeration, to put it mildly?

From the Beeb: "Our reassessment of West Antarctica's contribution to sea level rise if the ice sheet was to collapse is about 3.3 metres... That is about half of the value that has been quoted up until now."

So old science came up with a number. Then newer science cut that in half. What will still newer science do I wonder. Read it all.
