The Copenhagen Diagnosis: Updating the World on the Latest Climate Science
On the eve of the Copenhagen conference, a group of scientists has issued an update on the 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Their conclusions?

And this extreme weather is very likely the ominous precursor of other forms of planet-wide climate transformations that will radically alter ecologies, disrupt human settlement and set in motion political turmoil in countries that are less socially stable and disciplined than Australia. If the Australian experience is just the beginning, then our most pressing need is the best of current scientific information unedited by political agendas.
