Global Warming: Is the Science Settled Enough for Policy?

July 24, 2008 presentation by Stephen Schneider for the Stanford University Office of Science Outreach's Summer Science Lecture Series.

Professor Schneider discusses the local, regional, and international actions that are already beginning to address global warming and describe other actions that could be taken, if there were political will to substantially reduce the magnitude of the risks.

The Stanford Summer Science Lecture Series is a set of informal lectures about cutting edge research from four of Stanford's most esteemed professors.

Sorry bud but it is clear that you have absolutely no knowledge of science. that so called hacked email was in the introduction of his paper. But of course you or the republican haven't bothered to read those. there was nothing suspicious in those emails.

The same scientific community arguing for GW is the same community that has split the atom and put man on the moon.

They do tend to be objective, which is why they've been so successful and productive.

I'm more inclined to trust them than right-wing Americans who think everything is a "socialist" conspiracy.

@DrunkenPoetic Well moron, your argument is "argument from authority".The community you speak of can be recognized only if it applies the same methodology. Dr. Stephen clearly does not belong to this community. That scientific core took experimental evidence, adjusted them with statistical methods and corrected the initial assumptions with the experimental evidence.

all sectors of human kind should be involve with the campaign!Count me in..

@DrunkenPoetic Who told you that? and what gives you the authority to state that? I am not interested in politics only science and I am disgusted that science has been corrupted. There is no proof that man has or will warm the climate and there never will be any proof. Consensus is nothing, evidence and proof is everything in Science.

This is very informative. I like this one. It settles certain issues about the environment.

[TheStigsIndianCousin]

@DrunkenPoetic Haha, well said sir. I was really fired up after watching this.

"Global Warming: Is the Science Settled Enough for Policy?"

The answer, of course, is "Yes." The science was settled over a decade ago.

[DrunkenPoetic]

I love it when a serious, credible scientist comes along and intellectually butt-fucks all the competition.

Richard Dawkins masturbates to this kind of thing.
