Dear Dr. Jones, It is truly saddening that you have to be the recipient of such vile hatred. I am also aware that you are not alone in getting these kinds of disgusting messages. Please know that you have the unwavering support of millions of good people who empathize with your situation. I have spent years studying the moral implications of anthropogenic global warming. There is NO coherent moral system that can condone doing nothing about global warming. Even the most laissez faire of attitudes would demand that all engage in at least an absolute minimum of no regrets actions. Regardless of what such venom indicates about those who engage in these threats, we can do well to accept our own part in the dilemma. To have people who are so frightened by our desire to do the right thing that they fight even the most modest soultions indicates that WE are doing something wrong. There are those of us who are trained and willing to listen to the fears of those who feel so overwrought at the implications of climate change that their denial becomes toxic vitriol. This rage seeps into their daily lives, making it very painful for those around them to be around them. If you are one of the people believing that AGW is a giant conspiracy, please talk to someone. Get help. There are those who have been where you are, and have found recovery. We are ready to listen. -

chriskoz at 14:21 PM on 2 July 2012Help Send Peter Sinclair to the Mt. Baker Glacier
I wish Peter good luck & fun, however, if they are going to climb Easton Glacier, there is a word of warning: snowmobiles. I don't know current regulations by NPS (I don't live in WA, USA any more) but when I was there, I chose to climb via Cooleman-Deming Glacier, specifically to avoid the nastiness of the horrific noise and suffocating stench the operators of those silly machines create. And that's related not only to the destruction of National Parks but to global warming too! When I was standing on the rim near Roman Headwall, I saw many dozen (maybe hundred?) dots of snowmobiles down on Easton, together with constant hum. Unbelieivable. Easton was the last place I wanted to be on that day. -

DSL at 13:00 PM on 2 July 2012Over 31,000 scientists signed the OISM Petition Project
It's worse than that, Bill. All that was needed was a BSc degree in some field arguably generally related to climate. It's probably safe to say that most of the signers probably aren't actually working in the sciences. -

PT_Goodman at 12:15 PM on 2 July 2012It's Urban Heat Island effect
Tristan and Michael, Thanks for your responses. I'll have to think some about them. And I should probably read the Hansen 2001 process description. "UHI is constantly raised by fake skeptics to muddy the waters." Don't I know it. I am debating with a "skeptic" and I've tried to explain several times why UHI effects are not the cause of Climate Change or GW. His climate change research is targeted to Web sites that support his denialism. I've provided links here many time on many issues, but the guy never learns--he just recycles the same old idiocies. Drives me crazy. But UHI effects would hardly let people off the CO2 hook since UHI effects are largely due to automobiles and electric devices powered by CO2 emitters. -

BillInLA at 10:01 AM on 2 July 2012Over 31,000 scientists signed the OISM Petition Project
I'm not a scientist, but I do have a great deal more experience than most scientists at sending direct mail and getting responses. Some observations: when soliciting money, a response of 2% was often thought of as the gold standard. If one is not asking for money, then a response rate in the double digits is probably a reasonable standard if the solicitation is written clearly enough. I've received response rates as high as 10% for complex questionnaires. With those thoughts in mind, the (estimated) .3% response rate to the OISM mailing is --wow -- friggin' awful. They didn't even ask people to send money and they got only three tenths of a percent to agree? That is only a tenth of the percent of climate scientists (3%) who either dispute or have no opinion on the majority consensus on global warming. I'd love to have the mailing list of this 31,000 people. I could publish all kinds of drivel and sell it to them for a profit.Moderator Response: TC: All caps changed to bold to comply with the comments policy. The comments policy contains tips on the use of html tags for emphasis so that future comments can comply. -

Andy C, Melbourne, Australia. History will show that great people such as Prof Jones stood for truth, and will thrust his detractors into a very harsh spotlight as their lies are exposed. Just a quick note about titles - Phil Jones is Prof Jones, not Dr Jones, and a better-earned professorship I doubt you will find anywhere!Moderator Response: Noted skywatcher, thanks. -

Tom Curtis at 09:19 AM on 2 July 2012Michaels and Cato Unwittingly Accept the Climate Threat
rugbyguy59 @10 has it right. There are in fact myriad ways to switch to a low carbon economy. Some have advantages over others in some areas, but compensating flaws so that, from a purely economic point of view, there is no clear advantage to any particular method. The difficulty, then, is not the method chosen but the political will to choose any method. If we can increase that will by adopting a particular method, then that is sufficient to make that method the best option. -

Refreshing information, at a time when I was doing graduate work in 2010 -11 yr. One part of the study was devoted to comparison of climate models, however the data that were available to me were very thin, or were obsolete. The latest that I could find from the working climate models or principles of work was to 2004 as well. But now I see is not the case. -

Jörg Kampmann, Germany and I cite psalm 23: Psalm 23 A Psalm by David. Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever. -
