Gavin Schmidt, NASA climate scientist and one of the nonsense-dispelling bloggers at RealClimate, teamed up with photographer Joshua Wolfe to create the new book Climate Change: Picturing the Science. According to its creators, the book illustrates climate change science through "arresting images and lucid explanations of the science of global warming and the pursuit of global cooperation in adopting new, sustainable ways of living."

Check out a selection of the book's most breathtaking images in PopSci.com's Gallery: Climate Change Never Looked So Good.

Another "scientist" trying to cash in on the "global warming" craze. I wonder if he was one of the "scientists" warning of the impending "ice age" that made such a clamor in the 70s and 80s.

Maybe he can answer a simple question;
How are you predicting temp-climate-weather 20-30-50 years into the future when you can't tell me with any accuracy what the weather or temp will be TOMORROW?

It's just common sense, even when it's uncommon...

That picture shown is interesting, but i'd like to know the story behind it. I know in the northern sates a few years ago, frogs were found deformed. Missing limbs, extra limbs, and so forth. To me it looks like that frog is missing some indexes (fingers). This was found to be from a bacteria causing the issues, not temperature change. But then, was the climate change causing the bacteria to grow rapidly...? http://www.naymz.com/search/john/morgan/2678516
