The State of the Climate: Scientists Reflect on the Hottest Year
January 20, 2015
The Newest “This is Not Cool” video from Yale Climate Connections is a snapshot of interviews from last month’s Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
Weeks before the official announcement, scientists gathered at the annual American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco were well aware that data was showing 2014 would be among the hottest years on record. I managed to participate in a number of key sessions – here is a small sampler.

Excellent snapshot of views, maybe in my older years I’m getting a little hard of hearing – but I needed to dig out my headphones and turn the volume right up to hear all the conversations. I particularly appreciated Bill Ruddiman Phd’s point that we understand the reason’s for the Little Ice age and the medieval warming (and they’re not occurring right now) as how many times do you hear this from doubters.
A really excellent piece from yesterday’s Penn State University News:
“Our analysis suggests that the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in terms of avoided sea level rise from the Greenland Ice Sheet, may be greatest if emissions reductions begin before large temperature increases have been realized,”
What are we waiting for ???? are we hoping it will all go away ?
