2012 is the End of the World as We Know It … 2013 is the New Beginning. Go Slow Quickly!

Michael Mann totally dismisses the methane release from subsea thawing permafrost which many scientist fear will become “runaway,” stating that methane concentrations are primarily identified as being associate with natural gas extraction, and that methane concentrations increase and decline naturally. He also strongly endorses carbon fee legislation, blocking fossil fuel expansion and subsidies to the industry along with other efficiencies to decarbonize society—fundamental to his world view is that reducing emissions will quickly stabilize atmospheric CO2 concentration with ocean warming inertia being offset by ocean and biosphere continued absorption of CO2, in a few years. He never mentions the urgency to cool and refreeze the Arctic to restore ice cap albedo and and curtail Greenland ice sheet melting, nor AMOC. He makes no differentiation between global and local Arctic geo-engineering … both are lumped together in his mind, apparently.THESE BELIEFS RUN CONTRARY TO SCIENTIST WHO I AM COLLABORATING WITH. These are topics for urgent resolution. (This transcript is Q&A from 46:00 – 54:00) facebook.com/EnvDefenseFund/videos/378218469835248

This is the 32nd in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientists deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. Response continues to my post of Michael Mann’s blog titled “My Comments on New National Academy Report on Geoengineering” in response to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences’ report “Reflecting Sunlight” on the topic of Geoengineering.

This is the 31st in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientists deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. I posted a notification of Michael Mann’s blog titled “My Comments on New National Academy Report on Geoengineering” in response to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences’ report “Reflecting Sunlight” on the topic of Geoengineering. The resulting discussion is unbelievable.

This is the 30th in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientist deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. Michael E. Mann posted a blog titled “My Comments on New National Academy Report on Geoengineering” on Thursday, March 25 in response to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences’ report “Reflecting Sunlight” on the topic of Geoengineering. michaelmann.net/content/my-comments-new-national-academy-report-geoengineering … DOWNLOAD THE 312 PAGE REPORT FREE … nap.edu/catalog/25762/reflecting-sunlight-recommendations-for-solar-geoengineering-research-and-research-governance

This is the 29th in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientist deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. Dr. Timothy Lenton et al, 2019’s tipping point article warns … “In our view, the evidence from tipping points alone suggests that we are in a state of planetary emergency: both the risk and urgency of the situation are acute” Climate tipping points-too risky to bet against, Nature, November 27, 2019 (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03595-0)

This is the 28th in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientist deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. Dr. Timothy Lenton et al, 2019’s tipping point article tells us more than half of known tipping points have activated since about 2010, which coincides well with climate change warming beyond 0.5 C.

This is the 27th in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientist deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. Exercising extreme caution not to rush headlong into uncertain concepts during the brainstorming of possible means to remove and sequester carbon, scientists and engineers ask critical questions and explore all the implications for down side risk as well as effectiveness. The scientist provides additional reference material.

This is the 26th in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientist deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. Exercising extreme caution not to rush headlong into uncertain concepts during the brainstorming of possible means to remove and sequester carbon, scientists and engineers ask critical questions and explore all the implications for down side risk as well as effectiveness. This scientist explains the potential of trees.

This is the 25th in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientist deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. Exercising extreme caution not to rush headlong into uncertain concepts during the brainstorming of possible means to cool the Arctic, scientists and engineers ask critical questions and explore all the implications for down side risk as well as effectiveness.

This is the 24th in a series of actual scientists’ emails. Actual scientist deliberate and reprimand those who go off course. Deliberations have turned to ways to get Emergency Arctic Cooling into the IPCC Sixth Assesment Report and at COP26.
