“Climate Media vs Climate Science” I spent 10 yrs listening only to media, finding none of it believable. For 3 yrs now I’ve only read papers & talked directly to climate scientists, who are very believable. Actually, the lower their profile, the more believable I find them.

RCP8.5 featured prominently on the WSJ editorial page today Again: the climate science community needs to move quickly & decisively to address the many issues involving scenario misuse, or others will run with it, including those w/ politics contrary to most in climate science

RCP8.5 is “addicted to coal” scenario. But, not the track we’re on, given current CH₄ prices. Coal emits> 2x as much C vs CH₄ because it only combusts to CO₂ (not H₂O) and can’t run a combined cycle plant, which is more efficient. But RCP8.5 makes for dramatic headlines.
