From Stanford’s News Service, comes this hyper PR. Red mine. In case anybody wants to go or watch, there will be a live feed.
Stanford climate scientist to discuss state of climate science, coming risks
WHO: Chris Field, professor of interdisciplinary environmental studies at Stanford University and co-chair of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Working Group II.
WHAT: The world is staring down the barrel of climate change that is faster than at any time in the last 65 million years, says climate expert Chris Field. He will speak on the topic.
WHEN: Friday, Feb. 14, 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. CST.
WHERE: American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting, Hyatt Regency, Grand Ballroom B, 151 E. Wacker Dr., Chicago.
Field will discuss “Research Challenges in Managed and Natural Ecosystem Responses to Climate Change” as part of the “Research Challenges in Climate Change: What’s New and Where Are We Going?” symposium.
Field will also take part in a related news briefing on Feb. 13 at 2 p.m. CST in the Vevey 3 Room of AAAS Newsroom Headquarters in the Swissôtel, 323 East Upper Wacker Dr. The briefing will be streamed live on EurekAlert.org.
In a talk based on a paper he co-authored with Stanford Associate Professor of Environmental Earth System Science Noah Diffenbaugh, Field will describe what analysis of 27 climate models revealed about the pace of climate change and what risks and emerging challenges we should expect.

More like: So-called Man-made Global Warming is “shooting blanks.”
The barrel of climate change is empty.
Is that connected to pork-barrel politics?
Wouldn’t a flamethrower have been a better metaphor? A gun seems so boring when compared to the usual level of hysteria that The Cause evokes.
This is the equivalent of Russian Roulette with one blank in one of the chambers. Chances are it’s just gonna go “click” but even if it fires the shot is insignificant. (as in woah the global temp fluctuated 0.4 degrees or .8 degrees in 34 years)
Hey, that thing needs cleaning. I can tell by counting the rings.

The dinosaurs would likely disagree.
Professors of what…oh my…
He has told bear faced lies already. The ice-core data show that the rate of warming over the last 150 years is nothing compared to the last 4 inter-glacials were warmer than today by between 2-4 degrees Celcius. The peaks at the inter-glacials shows higher temperatures at the start, then general cooling interrupted by mini-peaks of low level warming before descending into the next ice-age. I believe it’s referred to in scientific & technical terminology as bullshit! Yet another weird study to arising from that illustrious education facility!

More like pork-barrel science, the kind of hyperbolic, sensationalistic fear mongering the truly desperate and self serving believe will keep them sitting in their 1st Class Seat on the Glowball Warming Gravy Train.
What a waste of resources.
…The world is staring down the barrel of climate change …
It’s not so bad. The first time I heard about Global Warming it was going to fry the Earth’s surface like Venus. The last time I heard about it it was only 4 Hiroshima bombs. And now it’s down to a rifle.
Looks to me like it’s travelling in the right direction…
climate change…and gun control
“professor of interdisciplinary environmental studies”
“27 climate models” And they all suck at hindcasting and forecasting. Brought to you by central casting.
…analysis of 27 models…
I think Dr. Spencer’s analysis of those models will be better: They are 95% wrong.
Someone is sticking a finger in my back and demanding my wallet. It’s not a gun and it has no bullets.
How about, ‘staring down the barrel of Joe Biden’s shotgun in his backyard.’
What is annoying is that he is blatantly claiming something that is easily shown to be untrue. Temperature changes coming out of the last ice age, according to studies based on historical changes, were increasing by multiple degrees of temperature in the 100 year range.
That change was much higher than current changes. Even the IPCC admits that climate sensitivities are likely on the low side of the range promoted over the last few years. This raises questions about just what this academic is trying to accomplish.
If all the experts are so clever, how come the world’s in such a mess?
At least a gun’s trigger is an example of a “tipping point”.

Is that close to Heartland? Hmm, they’re at One South Wacker Drive #2740. I wonder if there’s an east and west.
and now we have a government whose stated goal is to deny the rights of skeptics to even point out that the AGW hypesters are not being honest.
I am sure some voter that is at best ill informed will wet their pants and bring up the idea of AGW with a clue of what is going on.
Got to counter the hype and the lies somehow.
WHERE? Perhaps his lecture should be given on Wacko Drive ….
Who plays Russian Roulette and gets disappointed when there is no bullet in the chamber? It isn’t normal.
