“Ten-year warming window closing“–The Sydney Morning Herald. Quotable quote: “We could be seeing the carbon cycle feedback kicking in, which is good news for scientists because it shows our models are correct. But it’s bad news for everybody else.” [For more on carbon cycle feedbacks see here (rather technical) or read Chapter Three of my book.]

I think the current mania about human developement causing global warming is harmful to the scientific community. The arrogance of some of these people is appalling. The “Gore” factor will be proved wrong when true scientific evidence finally makes it into the main streem of public knowledge and the entire scientific community will suffer. It blunt future warnings that may well be critical to the survival of the human race.
I think within ten years, 20 at the most, just about everyone will understand what a prophet the former vice president has been.
