National Research Council on the subject of Climate Change

Science • May 2010 • Views: 390

The National Research Council (the organizing body for the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine) released on Wednesday a series of 3 reports on climate change:

“Advancing the Science of Climate Change”

“Limiting the Magnitude of Climate Change”

“Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change”

Link takes you to the project page, from which you can find the summaries of the reports in PDF form.

making it difficult to project future
greenhouse gas emissions. Certain
Earth system processes—such as ice sheet dynamics, cloud processes,
and regional climate effects—are
either incompletely understood
or not fully resolved in current
climate models, leading to
uncertainties in the magnitude
and rate of global climate change
and its manifestations at local
and regional scales.

I tend to agree with Spencer that the magnitude of warming will be more like .6 degrees, instead of +6 degrees - if there was a positive feedback loop that spiraled out of control it probably would have happened already.

Feel free to agree with a loon who tries to minimize and who has obviously got some other extreme views that disagree with Science

Spencer is a proponent of intelligent design as the mechanism for the origin of species.[22] On the subject, Spencer wrote in 2005, “Twenty years ago, as a PhD scientist, I intensely studied the evolution versus intelligent design controversy for about two years. And finally, despite my previous acceptance of evolutionary theory as ‘fact,’ I came to the realization that intelligent design, as a theory of origins, is no more religious, and no less scientific, than evolutionism… . In the scientific community, I am not alone. There are many fine books out there on the subject. Curiously, most of the books are written by scientists who lost faith in evolution as adults, after they learned how to apply the analytical tools they were taught in college.”[22] In The Evoloution Crisis, a compilation of five scientists who reject evolution, Spencer states “He further states “I finally became convinced that the theory of creation actually had a much better scientific basis than the theory of evolution, for the creation model was actually better able to explain the physical and biological complexity in the world… Science has startled us with its many discoveries and advances, but it has hit a brick wall in its attempt to rid itself of the need for a creator and designer.

My quote is from your papers, not Spencer.

You Said:

I tend to agree with Spencer

I’m Pointing out that Spencer is an Anti-Science IDiot. Sorry you don’t like it that he disbelieves the science of evolution as well.

Even when the papers you create an lgf page about contain phrases such as:

cloud processes,
and regional climate effects—are
either incompletely understood
or not fully resolved in current
climate models, leading to
uncertainties in the magnitude
and rate of global climate change

The response is always “Spencer is a creationist”. I never get, “Huh, that’s interesting.”
