  1. Buy the book "Unsettled?" if wanting to learn more and support Koonin who has paid a price to bring the truth as he sees it.

  2. Yup--same for everything with a hint of political divide. We have to inform ourselves, plenty of good info out there.

  3. I tell those saying it's settled that we should then terminate research dollars in that direction.

  4. By NOW (2yrs later) Artic sea ice has hit 20 yr high.

  5. We almost certainly are, more precisely--we are in an ice age, have been for 2.5M yrs plus, but in a brief interglacial, between glacial maximums, glacial devastation is the norm with minority of time between.

  6.  @prophetsnake  Look up headlines of your choice from 1970's mostly. The evidence for those speculations was the modest cooling trend between 1940 to 1980, roughly, along with growing artic ice for a while, etc.

  7.  @prophetsnake  Won't have another glacial max destroying half the N. Hemisphere for the Nth time? Better take a look at last few million yrs of climate history, no good reason to expect another one won't happen.

  8.  @martincummins3731  Yeah good headlines sell. It could be 'eminent', we don't know, as serious as it is, a few centuries may qualify for that word? By then we should be able to have massive orbiting mirrors to add sunlight, or whatever. The additional CO2 is probably a very small extra safety margin against the mass plant extinction (end of everything good on Earth) you mentioned, since oceans hold 40X more CO2 than atmosphere, so divide the CO2 delta by 40ish? Colder oceans will absorb what they can. I do not think extra CO2 will prevent next glacial max, say we top out at 600 or 800ppm, but no one knows. Climate models don't work. Just my guess based on minor roll CO2, at these levels, plays on climate. Perhaps we will have a global push to burn more fossil fuels later this century. :D) We have plenty left to do so.

  9. 40X more CO2 in the oceans than atmosphere. Good reason to suspect MORE atmospheric CO2 is better than less, it's a bit player in climate but crucial to plant vitality, crop production, greening of Earth and rendering plants more drought tolerant, reducing water requirements via reduced stomata openings which release water while harvesting CO2.

  10. Big oil is rich, your premises is dubious at best, rich don't benefit by causing poor to piss away money for nothing.

  11. Al Gore won a prize for being wrong--he predicted end of Artic sea ice by 10 yrs ago. LA Times has been beating the drum for "end of (Cali) Sierra snow" for many yrs, including right before one of the top 5 biggest snow packs in last 70yrs, 2022/23 season.
