Wait..... wat

Al Gore took his hockey stick from IPCC 2001, which in turn took it's hockey stick from about six or seven different reconstruction teams. One of which was Michael Mann's MBH1998/1999, pictured here (along with temperature and CO2 concentration trends). His findings weren't wrong, they were independently reconstructed God knows how many times from Wahl and Ammann, Clear Climate Code, even skeptic blogs like The Blackboard. Climategate turned out to be a fraud itself, a bunch of out-of-context cherrypicked e-mails that proved nothing.

Anyway, while paleoclimate reconstructions are an important part of the puzzle, they are not actually crucial to our basic understanding of global warming. Really, they are only attacked because of it's striking visuals and political value. The crux of the matter is that If there is more energy entering the system than leaving it, the system will heat up. Period.

In the grand scheme of life? No, of course not. But we don't care about that. We care about the climate being optimal for HUMAN CIVILIZATION. Fuck the natural order, I intend to live.

Another major concern: I don't know if I should tone down the "alarmist" stuff because that makes people want to tone the shit out rather than pay closer attention. It certainly motivates me, but I can't say the same for most other people I've spoken to. I'm definitely going to have a big fat feel-good section on climate change solutions, however.

Anyway, I'd like some input from you guys on how I should be going about this.

Here's what I have so far:
