[Terrapreta] Global Warming Is Not Settled Science

[David Yarrow]

scientific consensus -- like a political consensus -- takes much time to be built and agreed to all around.  thus, it tends to be conservative in extreme.  and thus tends to be slow to change its consensus in response to a new set of principles or data.

such a fully shared, worldwide, cross discipline agreement also doesn't change quickly when new information floods the terrain.  al gore is a lone ranger who can speak his mind as soon as he digests new information.  IPCCC is undoubrtedly undergoing an extensive and intensive internal discussion about the recent facts that diverge from and accelerate their agree on timeline and projections.  it will take this worldwide assembly of expert scientists a few months to process the new information and revise its consensus.  and up the threat level from orange to red.

  The compelling new evidence makes one wonder why they are not now more alarmist about it.  But, then alarm scares Conservatives.  It means change is coming and they can't do anything to stop it.  They might have to go along with some changes they don't like.  It rubs way to hard against conserving the status quo, to accept such a change, methinks.
