Today's question: How the heck does the Greenland ice sheet
survive accelerated disintegration from projected 20°F warming
by the 2090s? I previously blogged on how the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology Joint Program on the Science and Policy
of Climate Change has joined the climate realists — the growing
group of scientists who understand that the business as usual
emissions path leads to unmitigated catastrophe (see "Hadley
Center: "Catastrophic" 5-7°C warming by 2100 on current
emissions path" and below). Back in January, the Program issued
a remarkable report in January, by over a dozen leading experts,
doubling their 2095 warming projection to 5.2°C. The media
mostly ignored it, which is no surprise, since the media
generally ignores the realists in general (see U.S. media
largely ignores latest warning from climate scientists: “Recent
observations confirm … the worst-case IPCC scenario trajectories
(or even worse) are being realised” — 1000 ppm Now, the MIT
study has been published in a peer-reviewe
