Forget Copenhagen.

I've run out of anything useful to say about Copenhagen. This graphic, from "Climate Interactive" tells you just about everything you need to know.

Climate Scientist John Abraham and I just finished a session of FtBConscience on Climate Change and during that session we promised to provide some useful links. We also used some graphics during the session. Below are the links and the graphics! First, here is the video of the session: Climate…
Graphics software for Linux is superior to most other software for several reasons. Since the Linux system is inherently more efficient than other systems, memory-hungry graphics operations will always run faster, better, and more reliably on a Linux box than on, say, a Windows box, all else being…

James - you ever consider what Peak Oil may do to the calculations? After all, if oil peaks in the next 5-10 years, it will take down the economy, and the "business as usual" scenario along with it.

Not exactly an ideal solution, but still...

Wohoo we might get warm summers up here in Sweden but if the gulf streem changes direction it will get very cold so its good if the temperature increases to compensate.

I highly doubt we will continue to use coal, oil at the increase per year we do now. Where will we get it from?
We ain't got that much coal and people hate coal mines.

Perhaps the huge cost of CO2 emission reduction should go to research in alternative energy sources instead. Or condoms so we don't get more people thereby less emissions and also a much happier humanity overall =).

Wait -- you mean that the process of political compromise that our species has developed over thousands of years can't be used to change the laws of physics? Madness.
