FC, if a number of highly qualified people in the field of aeronautics told you that a plane loaded to over 450 tonnes had a 95% chance of crashing, would you board that plane over that load? Even if you were told that if you didn't board that plane you would loose a significant amount of money? Would you argue with them about the science behind the plane crashing and get on it anyway?
From previous performance, yes, you probably would, on all three questions.
The positive feed back events are beginning to show themsleves already, at only 380 ppm. There are increasing methane emmissions from under sea deposits and the melting tundra and the West Antarctic and Greenland ice shelves, as well as the Arctic sea ice, are melting at increasingly fast rates. These are all measured events.

No, fifth, I just have a PhD in geophysics. Maybe I should try harder and get a professorship?fifthcolumn wrote:Wow. Your grasp of science isn't great is it?caspian wrote:Two possibilities, without even having read the paper in full: hysteresis and inertial response.
