Climate scientists are worried that the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (the "FAR") may be too weakly stated, and are having a major meeting to study the problem and report to governments what should be done.
I've mentioned before about some of the questions, like the speed of sea-level rise, or the various methane feedbacks.
In the meantime, here's a bit of good news, about how leadership and careful civic planning helped smooth a weather emergency, and probably save a few lives.
It will take this same kind of civic effort, multiplied a thousand fold, to manage, if we are foolish enough to let some of these abrupt climate effects take place.
