My friend Bud Ward over a Yale Climate Connections tipped me to the video below. Something well worth a watch, and it would make a great topic of discussion in a high school/college political science class. I’m not talking about debating the science though, If a student doubt the science, tell them about how peer review works, and warn them about being deceived by conspiracy theory promoters. Kerry Emanuel is right about the defense department’s high interest, and having chatted with an Admiral in the Navy, I can tell you they are especially worried, since all of their bases ARE AT SEA LEVEL.
