The science is a crock!

The California Climate Adaptation Strategy is an effort to amass unicorn manure, in which 'scientists' fabricate causes for temperatures to rise by as many as seven degrees and threaten $2.5 trillion of California's assets in the next century and can only be avoided by diverting a like amount to some selected friends here and now. Non-thinkers will not notice they are the virgins to be thrown into the volcano to placate the gods at that receeding future date of promise.

"There's no single issue that threatens our planet's health and prosperity more than climate change," Schwarzenegger said. Unless we are to admit it is really politicians and other swindlers instead; which happen to be the real threat. Climate, like the weather, changes with or without humans in the picture -- that is surely not a recent scientific discovery.

"The governor pointed out that the estimated rise of sea levels over the next century would put most of Treasure Island underwater, as well as many coastal regions in the Bay Area."
Not bothering to mention that those particular land areas did not exist before recent history saw landfill and other expensive enhancements were extracted from taxpayers, particularly in the case of T.I. (on top of which, these estimates should come with at least two rolls of toilet paper).
Perhaps we can also be concerned right now that California may crash into Alaska, so we need to start putting up guardrails, warning signs and buy Compulsory Continental Collision Insurance from the state, underwritten by the Fed.

The SF Bay Area is one of the world's best places for hearing talks by excellent climate scientists and asking them questions, given Stanford, SLAC, UC Berkeley, LBNL, LLNL, and the many government, NGO, and business organizations that sponsor lectures. Nobody around here has to be ignorant of the science unless they want to be, especially anyone handy to Stanford. Otherwise, one can read one or two books and actually know something:

1) General audience, rusty on science perhaps, but easy read:
David Archer, The Long Thaw, 2009. Web Link At Amazon.
Archer is a top-notch carbon cycle researcher @ University of Chicago.

2) or (if they have math/science background expected of a non-science-major undergrad at a reasonable college):
David Archer, Global Warming - Understanding the Forecast, 2007.
Web Link at Amazon.

We've now had 3 posts in a row by:

a) Effectively anonymous people

b) Who are residents of another community

c) And clearly have problems with real science, like Conservation of Energy, radiation/emission properties of greenhouse gasses, etc.

d) But are desperate to get their messages out.

e) In some cases by SPAMMing a bunch of forums and blogs.

Google:
Any lawyers want to help out by filing this Copenhagen Treaty, be classified as an illegal Treaty, in order to, help save Freedom in North America?

and look at the dispersion of hits.

For all of which I offer my standard advice:
