IB Da Mann, where were you on the night of February 29th 1983? I'm going to swear you to secrecy. I was in the San Fernando valley watching probably the worst movie of all time "Liquid Sky." If anyone discovers that I came in contact with Southern California, I'll never get the stink off. Wait, you think people can smell the stink already?

I smell a polite true believer looking to "score" a convert. Listen with empathy. Climate change is intensely emotional; we have to honor and talk about that. (there is the first whiff) You are planting seeds and introducing the notion that climate is an issue we can do something about. (getting stronger) I also suggest that people follow the work of climate scientists such as Katharine Hayhoe and Michael Mann. (no doubt now)

Interesting and informative article by atmospheric physicist Dr Garth Paltridge: Climate’s Uncertainty Principle The bottom line of politically correct thought on the matter—the thought that we must collectively do something drastic now to prevent climate change in the future—is so full of holes that it brings the overall sanity of mankind into question.

The climate change threat follows the same plot line as Jaws: 1. A threat that nobody (the ignorant deniers) believe 2. A single honest hard working 'hero' needs to save the world but nobody will listen 3. The threat grows stronger. 4. Hero has to convince people of the threat 5. Eventually hero saves the world after several close calls The climate activists see themselves in the part of hero in this allegory. They see the script is in stage 4. the hero needing to convince people (ignorant deniers) of the imminent apocalypse. It is psychologically very beguiling it is why the movie was such a success. It is totally untrue in the current status - but that does not reduce its psychological effect.

Only difference I see with "jaws", is that the null hypothesis could easily be falsified by throwing multiple large mammals into the water at set intervals. No one will or can perform that magic with CO2. It's more like the monster that lives under the bed, who will devour you in the middle of the night. He/she never shows up, but millions believe he or she is there. And many a penny is turned by imaginary monster slayers.
