As far as global warming goes, my son in law has a PHD in atmospheric chemistry from UC Irving. He studies global warming full time as a tenured professor at a major northwestern university. He also teaches classes in physics, chemistry, thermodynamics and climatology.

He says they know and all of the top guys in the world agree. When I asked him about how many don't believe it, he said pretty much none. There are always a few paid off by the oil companies or are nuts. When I ask him about the deniers he said there are so many they pay no attention to them as they are just people who have no idea. He said satellites really helped cinch it.

He is thinking about doing research on methane levels in the arctic at different elevations. The weather channel now has a weekly program tipping point. Last week they showed readings of 2,000 PPB/M? on the north slope which they said is huge. The millions of lakes in the arctic are melting and releasing both CO2 and methane.

What should be terrifying to the younger ones is that we don't have any idea how bad the feed back loops will be (e.g. melting of methane in the arctic as it warms), but if one wants to see how bad it can get just google the Permian age or read up on Venus!

I am going down to visit my daughter and he in Oregon today and will ask him about the latest info on methane.,
