From the Govt. to YOU. a report on our probable demise

I don't like this blog. i don't like my job. I don't like what's going on with the environment in the world. But being good at my job and writing this blog about what is going on in the environment helps me feel better about all of these things. What a difficult life. fwp?? or everyman's problems? I'm in the midst of mucking through a bunch of government papers about climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. You may have heard about them. They are the official source of our government's knowledge on practically everything climate science related. The have all of the most functional models and most accurate predictions for what will happen in the coming years as a consequence for increased atmospheric CO2. I'm impressed at the great lengths they go to in order to compile and convey this information to whoever uses it. Most impressive to me at this moment is the FAQ section. They have contained in it a very well thought out and thoroughly cited introduction course to biogeochemistry, paleontology, and climate. In it are the most relevant questions such as "What factors determine the Earth's climate?" What disturbs me is that even though these are very relevant questions for a person concerned about climate to ask, what about those that don't give a fuuuuck? Like my grandparents. I use them in my mind as the eternal model for the non believer. That can't be good for my family relationships because certainly I do hold onto a great deal of resentment for this group of people, but hopefully it helps my cause that they are familiar. No matter how I arrange it in my head, these concepts may only be relevant in a very abstract way to people in America for a long time. More on the IPCC publications in future reports.
