"It's worse than we thought." Sound familiar?

42. You want us to worry more about someone exploring positive feedbacks to their logical conclusion

...using empirical data? Where is the rebuttal? Where are the politicians who even remotely base their policy on Light's projections?

That's been the status quo in the environmental movement for the past 25 years and it has backfired!

If there are any alarmists (causing undue alarm) then as best anyone can tell they are still far more accurate than deniers.

If Light is wrong, at least what he has presented is substantial enough to be properly debunked in the scientific community.

But your endless repetition of a Republican Party plank is slippery, over-opinionated denier-ism that far too many people from grade school teachers to US presidents have already internalized as doubt about global warming. You have drawn a line in the sand based on a preconceived idea of what is and is not acceptable science.



BTW- I found even more negative feedbacks that scientists have considered and researched over the years, including the "CO2 fertilization" theory which was shown to have only a small, temporary effect. It still was pushed as a big "controversy" by the denier lobby. Realclimate.org alone has 720 pages that consider negative feedbacks.
