“Ten-year warming window closing“–The Sydney Morning Herald. Quotable quote: “We could be seeing the carbon cycle feedback kicking in, which is good news for scientists because it shows our models are correct. But it’s bad news for everybody else.” [For more on carbon cycle feedbacks see here (rather technical) or read Chapter Three of my book.]

Looks like the administration doesn’t support House conservatives on at least one climate issue. The Washington Post reports:

Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell believes it is “appropriate” for global climate change to be considered in a future National Intelligence Estimate….

So we may yet learn just how seriously our do-nothing policy on global warming will impact our national security. Global warming deniers don’t know Jack!
