The ...So sorry I didn't notice this until now. The quickest way to get there is to park off Route 44 at Bolton Notch. From the parking lot walk up to the trail and head left toward Vernon (tunnel is in opposite direction). You don't have to walk far to reach the trail on the right. It has a name, but of course I don't remember it. Follow the trail and keep bearing right as you ascend. The rocks are so covered with paint that they're pretty slick. Enjoy!

The research paper can be found here:<br />http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/2/024024/article<br />The scientists examined “11,944 climate abstracts from 1991–2011.”<br />“Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming.”<br /><br />Here’s another website about the consensus and all the science organizations that agree with this view.<br />http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus<br /><br />Marshall Sheperd, 2013 president of the Meteorological Society has a TED video on his views of climate change denial that you can find here: <br />http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/06/11/climate_change_denial_zombies_ams_president_marshall_shepherd_talks_global.html<br /><br />If we don’t consider climate models at all, we still have carbon dioxide levels that are higher than any other time in at least 800,000 years. We know that because scientists have looked at air bubbles in ancient ice from Greenland, Antarctica and on other glaciers. <br />http://www.climatecentral.org/news/april-will-be-first-month-with-co2-levels-above-400-ppm-17331<br /><br />Yes, in the past, the climate has changed because of solar activity, the tilt of the sun and volcanic activity, but not this time….<br />http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/basics/facts.html<br />“Is climate change influenced more by human activities and excess greenhouse gases or changes in the sun's energy?<br />The sun has natural periods of warming and cooling. With satellites, scientists have measured fluctuations in the sun's energy and found that these recent variations have been small in comparison to human influences in the last several centuries, with no increase in solar energy in the past 50 years. Thus, changes in the sun's energy cannot explain the warming we have seen over the past several decades. In contrast, the warming we are observing is consistent with the warming properties of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases that we are adding to the atmosphere.”<br />LindaLinda Zajachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11930130216892471502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350276476455172888.post-13195525481343232302014-05-27T09:09:14.685-04:002014-05-27T09:09:14.685-04:00Re: Courant letter 5/27. Climate models are only ...Re: Courant letter 5/27. Climate models are only as good as the theory on which they are built. CO2 is the main ingredient and they ignore the natural components such as solar activity, ocean oscillations, clouds and jet stream patterns. If they can't predict the last 17 years correctly, how can they forecast the next hundred years? Sea levels are only rising at 2 mm/year, or 7 inches per century and not increasing. How can they say that temperatures will rise 5-10 degrees by 2100 when they are not rising at all? Temperatures have only risen 1 degree C in the last hundred years. That story about Antarctic ice melting refers to the outer ice shelf which has been slowly decreasing since the little ice age and won't collapse for a thousand years. Most of the ice cap in Antarctica is increasing and holds 92% of the world's ice.<br />CO2, necessary for plant growth and life on Earth only absorbs 8 % of the outgoing radiate in two narrow bands of the spectrum. It's like a greenhouse with 92% of the glass missing. As it increases, it depletes the available radiation in those two narrow bands and it's ability to increase temperatures diminishes. <br />Scientists who disagree with the global warming alarmists are subjected to the worst kind of abuse.
