Today I did a little more tinkering with this Climate Weapons blog as I wanted to add a section to the dialogue about the Great Storm of 1987. The more changes I make to the blog the further and further it gets from being a rehash of Clive Cussler (now clearly cited as a primary source). I may eventually split out the witches from the scie more…
It is three years since I penned Cows & Moose. I did make a good case for 'really investigating the issues'...so thank you for saying so...but I was only scraping the surface.
It turns out that the issues are much more intriguing than I realized and they look like leading me to very different conclusions.
Disagree...but agree you have a case. I would prefer to be in a situation where I had the knowledge to write authoritatively about climate weapons. When I have I will be happy to replace this blog entry with something original. Incidentally I also googled etc. for Lazlo Kovacs, but without success. Did you have more luck?

I happened to find this site, soley because I Googled "Lazlo Kovacs" while reading Polar Shift by Clive Cussler. In fact the novel is, at this very second, setting right in front of me above the computer less than 6 inches from the keyboard

An impeccably dressed bon vivant of Serbian birth, Nikola Tesla was widely celebrated for his inventions of motors and power distribution systems and his defeat of Thomas Edison's championing of direct current with his invention of alternating current.

If Stern did emphasize "the most pessimistic studies" as claimed, and remember his final cost was a measly 1% of GDP, then the true cost would be much lower than the 1% he gives. But it still makes sense to budget for the higher cost because as we all know, the future hasn't happened yet
Stern has been ripped apart by many leading economists on this subject. Good discussion here:

You're absolutely right. I'm impressed. But is there any truth in any of it? I think that I probably messed around with Cussler's words too much for it to be plagiarism particularly as I did some work on Google and Wikipedia to see what I could find out about Tesla's work...and one source is plagiarism and two sources is research as the old aphoris more…
You are of course right, The cause of global warming, if in fact there is any prolonged trend, has no relationship with a rise in CO2 levels.
It is a pity that the 'cold war' ended; as the two new ways of Governments scaring their Citizens into conformity, Global warming and Terrorism, poses an even greater threat to our freedom.

Interesting post. The argument about insurgents seems off base as we already have plenty of long line transmission where that's not really a problem. Generally insurgents want to make a political point, want the PR, and have other more visible ways to attack than to head for Alaska or Siberia. When was the last time the Alaska pipeline was blown more…
There is considerable dispute about sea level. It is not simple at all. You cannot just put a mark on a dock at high tide, measure it year after year, watch it go up and publish your findings.
