Last Friday, I launched a blog series on CEI's film, Policy Peril: Why Global Warming Policies Are More Dangerous Than Global Warming Itself.

Its probably a better bet that organisms that have been around for 500 million years, on a planet that was much warmer, had much more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, got hit by an asteroid or two, experienced ice ages, and now a slight warming, will be around long after homo sapiens hit the evolutionary road. | 3_2 |
the ACE confounds the number of hurricanes with the intensity (ACE effectively includes both). There are several ocean basins where the number of cyclones is actually decreasing, which would lead to a decrease in ACE (while at the same time showing an increase in intensity).

Paleoclimatologists have long suspected that the middle Holocene or a period roughly from 7,000 to 5,000 years ago, was warmer than the present day. Terms like the Alti-thermal or Hypsi-thermal or Climatic Optimum have all been used to refer to this warm period that marked the middle of the current interglacial period. | 2_1 |

The mean is not a good central estimate for a parameter like climate sensitivity with a highly skewed distribution. The median or mode (most likely value) provide more appropriate estimates.
