Someone discussing global warming on TV a couple of days ago likened a 2 degree rise in temperature (Fahrenheit) to a human having a fever. I thought it an interesting analogy.
The chain reaction effect is thought-provoking. We see in history how various peoples have disappeared (i.e. Native American cliff-dwellers in the Southwest) and archaeologists speculate as to cause. In the future, areas of the United States may become void of population where once thriving cities existed. In a couple of thousand years, after all this has come and become either permanent with all the resulting sociological results or has been mitigated or reversed, also with sociological results, I wonder if some archaeologist will look at the former location of say Wichita, KS and ask, "Where did all the people go?"

- Okay, are you sure you put the right link?
- I will go over the points in detail later today, but let me just say this now
- sea ice extent currently is BELOW the recent mean
- Ocean temperature update
- Arrrrgh, not sure how it became IIPC it should read IPCC (n/t)
