...usual argument put forth by global-warming skeptics for why we shouldn't rush to do anything yet is that the science behind climate change is uncertain--and in fact it is. While there's little doubt that humans are helping heat up the planet, the questions of how much, how quickly and leading to what consequences are fiendishly difficult to pin down. That's because the actual climate is still far more complicated than any existing computer model can accurately reflect, making predictions iffy at best. Some natural processes nobody has yet thought of could end up blunting...
...from sinking as it cools and returning south to the tropics where it can replenish ocean currents like the Gulf Stream. And because the Gulf Stream is the only reason much of Western Europe has so mild and temperate a climate, such a shutdown of that conveyor belt of heat could be nothing short of catastrophic. Oceanographers reported late last year the ominous news that one element of that family of currents has slowed 30% since 1992. It's not clear yet that this is the beginning of the feared shutdown, but if so, it represents yet another tipping point...
...have seen less of an impact on their style. “I haven’t worn a hat all year,” Scheinmann said. “Guys’ fashion is more bland anyway.” Most students have revelled in the unusual heat, but for some, the warm weather has been disconcerting. “I’m from Boston so I’m used to it being cold from early December to early March.

Their only attempt at civil protest—the boycott of Arla Foods, the Danish-Swedish dairy giant—has been a conflation of all things Danish, as Arla takes the heat for the actions of an independent journal. In this regard, the fallout from the publication of the cartoons has been deplorable and unwarranted. It is simply hypocritical for these Muslim nations to expect European nations to respect their religious beliefs and simultaneously punish those nations for exercising their most central...
