Jeff Masters: Earth's attic is on fire

11. Here's the quote from him.

"There is no point in raging or crying about something that is so monstrous that I have no ability to affect it's outcome." Sorry if I didn't make this clear but I meant a positive outcome. There IS in fact, scientific evidence that says that there is potential to mitigate, halt, and even someday reverse, AGW.

I don't recall if I've posted this yet but, Skeptical Science had a really good article:

Also, for a more in-depth analysis:

And here's another really good piece from that website:

TBH, as I've stated before, it does kinda bother me that the doomsday advocates and certain amongst the deniers seem to share a very key point in both their arguments: that nothing can be done, and that all we can(or should, in the case of the latter) do is adapt and hope for the best.
