• Who was your favorite scientist to draw for the 97 hours campaign?

• Why is it important that the public understands the overwhelming consensus that humans are causing global warming?

• What is your favorite conspiracy theory about your own work, or in general about climate science?

are these sensors out in the woods or around civilization?

Both, and in the ocean, and onboard satellites high above any potential urban heat effect.

They all show that the earth is warming.

Particularly to those people who are semi well informed (i.e. who know that it used to be hotter than modern times in the past)

• "Humans have been dying from natural causes since our evolution" isn't a strong defense against a murder charge, especially when your fingerprints are on the murder weapon, i.e.:

• Upper atmosphere cooling while the surface and lower atmosphere warm (and the oceans build up heat).

a scientific climate convention

Getting an abstract accepted to some nameless "climate convention" is a lot lower of a bar than getting a paper published in an ISI/Web of Science-listed refereed journal.

Do you want to hazard a guess as to what would happen if they pulled the same stunt at JClim, JGR: A, GRL, etc.?

but hour do you account for the obviously self-interested bias of climate scientists in policing themselves?

1. Are you suggesting that science isn't competitive?
2. Are you familiar with the Koch-funded attempt to outside-police the temperature record that turned out confirming it?
3. If hugely respected groups like the National Academy of Sciences are not appropriate vetters of quality science, who are?

Clouds impact radiative forcing both through their albedo and their greenhouse effect (water vapor).
