Runaway Climate
Change : 20 Attempts To Model The Emergency

Is runaway
climate change hot? Is Paris Hilton trekking to Siberia to check out
melting permafrost?
No.
I've written 20 net op-eds
on runaway climate change. They are pasted on below.
So what? you say. Well, I
guess you're not interested in rcc.
But if you are I have hyperlinks
to most of the relevant rcc info sources on the net embedded in a shifting
tapestry of contexts.
(Well, sort of - I'm a boomman
not a writer, I'm sometimes clumsy and I make mistakes, but I do know
that rcc isn't just the science and possible mitigation.)
They contain quotes from
and links to seminal papers by Jim Hansen, George Monbiot and many others.
("One small dive for man, one giant leap backward for life on Earth."
Jeremy Rifkin )
We don't have the capacity
to completely understand something as terrible as rcc. Supposedly most
of us freeze (stand in shock) in an emergency, but that's individuals
in risk situations we understand not societies faced with an unprecedented
insidious addiction. I've spent some time researching and thinking about
rcc and I can help you think through a ton about rcc in a short time.
I'm no expert and this modeling
of possible reaction to the emergency is by no means definitive - just
an attempt to get past denial to action:
