For those experiencing problems commenting, please be patient. I'm trying to figure out how to turn off typekey authentication, but even with all the settings saying it's not required, it still says it's required and reroutes everyone to typekey. It's becoming very frustrating.

Last week I published a detailed critique of Maryland-based climate activist and writer Mike Tidwell's book The Ravaging Tide. This week, I have followed up with Part II: My explanation of why it is that I'm going after Tidwell even though he's on my own "team," so to speak.

Science magazine today has a long and comprehensive article on scientists who are "Pushing the Scary Side of Global Warming." As it won't be freely available for months, I will post some of the juicy bits, while doing my best not to violate the AAAS copyright.

In relation to the Greenland question, what did you think of this recent study Greg? (sorry if I missed a post on it);

I'm writing about that, and have written about related things before. This is a very poorly misunderstood study, and much of the situation is misunderstood.
One thing I'll say now: The amount of ice that had to be drilled through to reach eemian ice was vast. Temperatures were globally similar or cooler than, we have more CO2 in the atmosphere now, and we are warming with much of the actual CO2 and warming masked in its effects because it is busy filling up the ocean. The conclusion I draw is this: Why hasn't the Greenland ice sheet already melted off, mostly?
The answer has to be because of the strange way in which heat distributes itself in the northern hemisphere. Perhaps there are multiple stable arrangements that are possible. We should be concerned that in recent years an alternative arrangement of air currents is starting to manifest and with that comes melting of arctic and near arctic ice in general.
