If anyone is not all that up to speed with the technical stuff, you may prefer to look at the basic or intermediate tabs in that last link.

bonmot,

Strangely enough, I came across this by James Hansen yesterday.

Thanks for the link : )

Hi Poirot,

The paper "Perception of Climate Change" will be published next week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

It will be available to journalists via PNAS but stories are embargoed until 3 PM Monday 6 August -- local time.

The paper was submitted earlier this year under the title "Public Perception of Climate Change: The New Climate Dice".

Here is a link to some Q&A's on the paper:

An easy to interpret synopsis is here:

Now, off to my vege-patch :)
