"There is a new paper on Science Express that examines the constraints on climate sensitivity from looking at the last glacial maximum (LGM), around 21,000 years ago [Schmittner et al (2011)] (SEA). The headline number (2.3ºC) is a little lower than IPCC’s “best estimate” of 3ºC global warming for a doubling of CO2, but within the likely range (2-4.5ºC) of the last IPCC report. However, there are reasons to think that the result may well be biased low, and stated with rather more confidence than is warranted given the limitations of the study."

-Since October we know that 2010 the worldwide co2-emissions soared as fast as never before, for 6 %.
-At the same time we heard about the surface of the arctic ice (smaller as ever).
-A new study shows on the basis of the heatwaves and forest fires in Russia 2010, that the global warming trend is influencing the weather system.
-The IPCC presented a survey warning of strong rains, droughts, sea level and more heavy storms on nov. 18.
-According to prognoses, most of all it's the south of Africa threatened by floods, water shortages and bad harvests.
-The efforts to climate protections are bigger in emerging countries as in our crashing countries (lol joke, sort of).
-The UN-Climate conference in Durban is not a ecological happening. Lots of governments send their responsible for foreign affairs and economic policy, not their environment secretaries.

The human contribution to climate still stands by my informations, but that's not even the point. Our governing class is still grinding us down to a nub.
