There is a difference between a feedback and a causative factor.seemorerockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638172074263860001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171175265245997391.post-20505067352575856042014-01-27T18:28:48.189+13:002014-01-27T18:28:48.189+13:00I would be interested what anthropogenic "neg...I would be interested what anthropogenic "negative" feedbacks you see.

In fact, being completely honest, it's an intentionally uninformed opinion. It has been pointed our repeatedly the study Guy and you take that statement from was not a study of non-natural feedbacks. The study considered *only* natural feedbacks and ignored any and all potential anthropogenic negative feedbacks. This is extremely strange for a hypothesis that is 100% dependent on the effects of anthropogenic positive feedbacks, is it not? <br /><br />Anthropogenic feedbacks can cause climate change but not mitigate them? <br /><br />It is important that our climate activism not be based on bias and misrepresentation. I hope you stop repeating this false statement without at least mentioning the negative feedbacks we can engage in. These feedbacks have the potential to return atmospheric CO2 to sub-300ppm within 20 - 100 years.<br /><br />Please be more accurate and more honest.ccpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608765517662755393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171175265245997391.post-69936358162660244462013-05-22T23:02:05.724+12:002013-05-22T23:02:05.724+12:00Divestment is a primary example of bargaining with...Divestment is a primary example of bargaining with the feel-good packaging so seductive. McKibben is trapped and has no choice to walk back from the "good news". Students mobilizing is fine but no-one talks about the real issue: population. How long would 350 dot org be an organization if Saint McKibbon told the truth? Not long.Michael Sosebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424806231591776967noreply@blogger.com
