I’m trying to find a technical read on global warming. I’m interested strictly on the science in the most technical way possible. Does anyone know of any?
BTW, if anyone recommends An Inconvenient Truth I will resurrect qqqbee and tell him you work for CFAI!!
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
I think the IPCC report is more of a political document than a scientific one. There have been numerous instances where data has been “massaged” and projections manipulated to fit their agenda. So why not just go directly to some journals?
The science is way too broad for the best climatologist to understand, let alone a delittante.
Yeah, this is the whole reason I’m interested in it. My political leanings lead me to think it’s pure bs but I hate it when people make any argument without understanding the topic. I’m also a nerd and can’t just take things at face value. Occasionally, I’ll take a veiw outside of the party line, at least when it comes to non-social issues.
My uncle was a former top executive of the National Wildlife Federation. He wrote a book about global warming but more from a personal reflections standpoint. He’s convinced it’s an imminant threat, I’m not 100% sold on the manmande aspect, but I am convinced of long term warming and a strong believer in cutting carbon emissions as a top priority. Can’t hurt I figure, and it wouldn’t hurt the world to take a break from buying useless sh*t.
