re: #158 srjh

I’m in almost the same boat. Reading about the leaks, then quickly seeing them for what they were, has definitely sparked a renewed interest in the science myself. I’ve got a background in Physics and was familiar with much of the science before, but digging around and reading about feedback mechanisms, radiative forcing, solar cycles and temperature proxies… it’s certainly kept me occupied.

You’re lucky to have that Physics background. While I do have a little chem from college I’ve had to learn and relearn. But what I think a lot of people don’t understand is how much fun it can be. It needn’t be just slogging through dry subjects.

At this point I haven’t come to any conclusions about what we should do about it, but I’m certain we should do something. My personal favorite is orbital solar panels the we and the Japanese are collaborating on. If they can solve the problem of bringing the energy down to earth we could supply the whole world with electricity.
