Global Warming presented by Dr. Alan Robock (Rutgers).

Dr. Robock served on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which received the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Why peace? Because governments are increasingly seeing the effects of climate change as a danger. The Pentagon once warned that climate change posed the most serious threat to national security.

The IPCC has issued a series of reports, all of which found that anthropogenic climate change was real. The conviction of this finding increases over time, going from "likely" to "very likely."

This is more a problem for your children and grandchildren (reproductive ethics?).

2050: no more sea ice, and that's conservative.

La nouveau masque de la mort rouge?

STOP coal.

Reversing trends could cost less than .12% of the GNP/year.

geoengineering not likely to be the answer.

States need to take the lead... political involvement including supporting the Waxman-Markey bill...
