Jim Hansen is circulating a note<http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2013/20130415_Exaggerations.pdf>calling attention to the Hansen, et.al. "near final" paper (entitled * Climate Sensitivity, Sea Level, and Atmospheric CO2) * presently available on arXiv.org, i.e. here <http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.4846>.
The concluding sentence of the abstract reads: "*Burning all fossil fuels, we conclude, would make much of the planet uninhabitable by humans*, thus calling into question strategies that emphasize adaptation to climate change." Over to those putting forward or supporting the McBurger hypothesis... (The "McBurger Hypothesis" holds that climate change may only become an issue of secondary importance to those who matter,* even if all fossil fuels are burned*, because it is thought possible or even likely that the American middle class will continue to find ways to remain riveted to their video game screens while surviving on orders of Chicken McBurgers or whatever else is delivered to their climate change proof homes and civilization....) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
