(4,795 posts)64. You aren't allowed to allude to that "possibility" without a leaked IPCC AR5 snippet to back you up
So stop. Just stop. You can't even sing a song about it!
There's got to be some plausible reason
That's what they keep saying about why a theistic God doesn't stop evil. We just damn well can't figure it out already, so our justification is based on faith alone (and faith is belief without proof).
Now my opinion is that there is a reason, and its not related to the scientific veracity of the research but rather its political and social implications. In the meantime, what we know is that the models are incomplete and all we have to go on is then informed extrapolation of the established data (which is what "extremists" are being criticized for doing).
Also, 'anti-establishment' texts? LOL.
Yes, I was mentioning that in reference to the canonization of biblical texts, which did exclude much gnostic literature that would have undermined their power. Likewise, any research that undermines the sole demonstrated purpose of civilization (infinite acceleration of the velocity of energy) may not be "canonized" by the body that civilization has created to observe this phenomenon (we certainly see relevant, peer-reviewed research not being assimilated already).
what certain people around here may call "novel views"
My reference to "novel" is recent peer-reviewed research that is not included in IPCC models or assessments.

And there's no sign that we are deviating from the highest-carbon scenarios.

They don't even assess drought. Hopefully that's changed before AR5 is finished.

Which is how I'm beginning to think the IPCC should conduct it's business as well.

Nope, sorry - and the Chicken Little cartoon was the last straw - hot-button for me

Isn't it perhaps possible that methane may not have as much of a impact.....
