The Graph That Should Be on the Front Page of Every Newspaper: The Unambiguous Warming of the Planet


The more I think about it -- and especially, the more I exchange "ideas" with science deniars like gleikenspile and so-called "research" -- the more that I think better pedagogy in climate science is irrelevant. Some CHOOSE not to learn. Those that remain "skeptics" are unteachable and unworthy of effort. Anybody's.

Besides, it doesn't even matter whether they agree with the exact definition of the problem. What does matter is that they vote for the right POLICY solutions, which are also required for national security and economic competitiveness. So, considering the fact of global warming a dead horse, rather than beating that dead horse with better buggy whips, I'd rather move on to the solutions and straight advocacy for the right policies. I'd rather see more graphs like this:

... than more efforts to over-simplify climate science so much that even a Republican could understand it. It'll just never happen.
