Notes

Global warming stuff to be mapped:

1. Major global climate changes are taking place right now.
2. These changes are likely to result in trillions of dollars of damage, at a minimum.
3. There are actions we can take to minimize the damage (even if we can't affect the change itself).
3a. The sooner we begin taking such actions, the less costly the damage will be in the long run.
4. There are actions we can take to reduce the severity of the climate change itself.
4a. The sooner we begin taking such actions, the less severe the climate change will be in the long run.
5. The climate changes taking place right now are unprecedented within human history.
6. The climate changes taking place right now are probably (though not certainly) caused by human activity.
7. The conclusions of climate scientists are the most reliable guide to how the climate is likely to change in the future.
8. If the consensus among climate scientists is biased, it is just as likely to be biased in the direction of being too conservative as it is to be biased in the direction of being too extreme.
9. Scientific bias with regard to new theories tends to err on the side of being too conservative, and asymptotically approaches the correct values as more evidence arises.
