@Austin's quote, " The results of our best climate scientists have been widely available for some time."  And this one of my main points of disagreement.  For example, look at the satellite data used to "prove" the seal level changes.  I have not read Mitchell's books but from my years of electronics and calibrations (and engineering too) I would laugh if someone brought me this data and asked for an investment.  I do not doubt that the earth's seal levels are changing; solar heating, winds, earth cloud water content, land surface/subsurface content, ocean floor geothermal output, atmospheric chemical containment, etc.) but to assign the earth CO2 level, and that caused by mankind as a basis for the 1) warming changes and therefore 2) sea level changes is, well,  beyond absurd.  These consensus groups need to put forth more effort to work toward mankind dealing with the change rather than attempt to "control' the world human population.
