This makes me think a few things:. Gas prices need to get higher. Regulation, penalties, and carbon taxes are probably even more important that I thought. Car pooling is a...

Global Warming Notes from an Ordinary Futurist: Predictions for 2008
http://globalwarmingfuturist.blogspot.com/2008/01/predictions-for-2008.html
Global Warming Notes from an Ordinary Futurist. Sunday, January 06, 2008. There will be more wild weather. That includes extreme cold as well as extreme heat. Climate change is not a gentle process, and we’ll be reminded of that yet again. Some key indicators, like sea ice and the Greenland ice sheet, will continue to change faster than predicted. Climate Change will be an issue in the American presidential election, but not one of the top three even though it should be. What are your predictions?

Global Warming Notes from an Ordinary Futurist: Is it just me, or is it getting worse out there?

Global Warming Notes from an Ordinary Futurist. Sunday, March 16, 2008. Is it just me, or is it getting worse out there? This week's news stories highlight that the real data is worse than we thought. China's greenhouse gas emissions grew faster than projected. This means the IPCC report was based on data that looked better than the real data. This morning, the story is about glaciers melting faster than expected, which may destabilize India, where the rivers are largely melt water. Reading recommendatio...
