Scientists warn of 'emergency on global scale'

Quote from 377OHMS:

The very nasty language and insults you are hurling here are a very large part of why you aren't able to convince anyone of the peril you perceive.

You cannot cite anything you are doing to avert AGW. You likely drive a huge SUV, keep the thermostat in your home at 72 degrees summer and winter and fly in airliners to your vacation destinations. Why would anyone take you seriously?

You've also got to admit that you have a pretty crappy degree. You should conceal your academic background instead of trying to use it as a credential. That degree is a source of shame not pride.

You keep attacking my background when between the two of us I'm the one who is published and listed in the Science Citation Index for work on atmospheric phenomena. Have you published any of your work?
More...

And what the hell does my lifestyle have to do with whether AGW is real or not? It's a red herring. Is that how you did your science? Ask about things unrelated to the subject?

I'm honestly impressed by what you have done. I don't understand why you can not offer one single bit evidence why all the world's climatologists are wrong about AGW. The fact that you were unaware there is a vast consensus among them makes me think you are out of touch with the current state of the science. I suspect intentional ignorance to preserve your ideological stance.

Lastly, it's not the degree, it's the mind that matters.
 
Minnesota's frozen turbines raise new doubts about wind power.

In Minnesota, the wind is blowing but turbines aren’t turning. The machines, bought used from California and installed last fall, are completely frozen in place. Even on the windiest days, the blades sit at a standstill, producing no power. Why should anyone care? The problem highlights some of the less intuitive challenges associated with wind power — long considered to be the most feasible and cost effective source of renewable energy.

The likely culprit in Minnesota: frozen hydraulic fluid, unfit for the state’s brutally cold winters. As the temperature continues to drop, these fluids have started to thicken, turning into jelly. This is a big problem, considering how much the Midwest has spent on trying to become the U.S.’s wind power corridor. Wind power is already intermittent — the wind isn’t blowing at gale speeds all the time. But being knocked out of commission for an entire season? That could be a deal breaker.
