GACK! … CHOKE! … GASP!

- You know, I went over to Deltoid and posted in this apparently deleted thread a link to the Island story Tim linked,. (You can try to click on “AGW Oversold or Not” link on Deltoid’s main page) I asked if this did not somehow indicate that the “Science had been oversold”
A couple of other commenters challanged him to link to it too. I give Lambert credit, it’s a start to beginning a rational conversation.
Now let’s get him to look into Tuvalu.
- Tim is currently sitting in a lazy boy chair, holding onto a stein filled with mead, shaking his head and mumbling to himself. I think it’s shaken him a bit.
Ordinarily I would try talking to him, reaffirming his world view. But I’d rather check his basement to see where that mead came from. Better not be Mesopotamian.

- “…Lambert recently incorrectly claimed Tuvaluans are fleeing to New Zealand to escape inundation by rising seas.”
That can’t be right. Everyone who knows anything about global warming knows that people don’t flee rising seas. They just stand there while the water rises around them until they drown. That’s why tens of millions of people are at risk. That’s why we have to do something.
- kcom,
That is kind of funny, because this is what Lambert says in his post referenced above.
While global warming has increased sea levels, the increase to date has only been a couple of centimetres, which doesn’t seem enough o submerge an island. Let’s do some checking
- The major point here is that TimB is a journalist and all he did was find a couple news article which suggest an alternate reason for the island’s disappearence. But TimL is a scientist and he actually searched for real data on the story, and was therefore able to present a proper answer complete with maps and stuff. And he had a scientific explanation based on the facts like water flows downhill while rivers make deltas.
TimL wasn’t agreeing with TimB as much as demonstrating that scientists know more stuff than journalists and can explain things, if necessary.
Cheers

- the czechs are enjoying climate change
Record New Year’s Day temperature in Prague
Prague has seen a record temperature for New Year’s Day: it was 12.5 degrees Celsius at the city’s Clementinum weather station at 2 pm, a tenth of a degree higher than the previous record from 1921.
mates in czecho tell me it’s a nice change from the -12 or so more usual for this time of year
- It’s the same thing here in Toronto, KK, although only it’s about 7°C contrasted with the usual -4°C (or so) for this time of year. Meanwhile they had a big snowstorm in Winnipeg, Manitoba that I assume is related to the most recent midwest US storm and the cold spell out West continues. Ironically enough the Winnipeg storm happened the same day that our CBC reran a piece on the news from this summer about how global warming was making Winnipeg’s summers so much hotter and longer that plants from warmer climates were being grown by hobby gardeners for the first time in the region, that supposedly were incapable of growing there previously (and without telling us directly if the more exotic plants couldn’t grow in Winnipeg previously or just that no one had bothered trying).Posted by andycanuck on 2007 01 01 at 11:25 PM • permalink
- Sorry about the bad line break for -4°C!Posted by andycanuck on 2007 01 01 at 11:26 PM • permalink
- I’ll look for some for you, KK, the next time that I’m in Winnipeg.Posted by andycanuck on 2007 01 02 at 12:45 AM • permalink
