Studying the energy balance at the poles…
This one is more of a documentary about the man and the process, but it reveals some interesting facts about the study of global climate change. All I can say is that the entire issue of global warming is debated, digested, and decided by people who rarely realized just how big and complex the world’s climate system is. Sometimes a complex system can have one weaknes that will bring the entire thing down. And sometimes a complex system can have so many different elastic aspects that they may cancel each other out in the end. Also these factors we look at for our clues to the future simply may not be relevant to the problem we think we face. Personally, I doubt that the world we were given is not resilient enough to handle the changes we can induce. But, I sincerely doubt I have the knowledge necessary to make any qualified judgements.
