Don't Look Up: Is Climate Change an Extinction-Level Event?</b><br>

Mark Lynas - "Don't Look Up: Is Climate Change an Extinction-Level
Event?" (1 February 2022, CSER Public Lecture, University of
Cambridge)<br>
<br>
In the movie Don't Look Up, humanity dithers when faced with an
extinction-level threat from a comet and is wiped out. Designed
explicitly as an analogy for what the moviemakers see as our
collective lack of response to the existential risk of climate
change, how accurate is this comparison? Mark Lynas, the climate
author who has recently released an updated version of his
award-winning book Six Degrees, reviews the latest evidence as to
whether climate breakdown can be considered a planetary-scale
extinction threat and whether human civilisation or even humanity
as a species it significantly at risk this century.<br>
<br>
Mark Lynas is the author of several books on the environment,
including High Tide, Six Degrees, The God Species, Nuclear 2.0 and
Seeds of Science. His most recent publication, in June 2020, was
‘Our Final Warning: Six Degrees of Climate Emergency’. This is an
entirely new update of the original 2007 Six Degrees which won the
prestigious Royal Society science books prize. The original Six
Degrees was translated into 22 languages and was also adapted into
a documentary broadcast on the National Geographic Channel. He
also received the Breakthrough Paradigm Award in 2012.<br>
He advises former Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed on climate,
and works with the 48-member Climate Vulnerable Forum in this
capacity. Mark is currently a visiting fellow with the Cornell
Alliance for Science at Cornell University, which engages in
pro-science advocacy and research around the world on issues
ranging from GMOs to vaccines to climate. He has written for
numerous publications, including the New York Times, the
Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian and
CNN.com.<br>

<b>Jokers Add Fake Names To Warming Petition</b><br>
May 1, 1998<br>
H. Josef Hebert<br>
AP<br>
WASHINGTON - It was touted as a collection of thousands of
scientists debunking global warming. So was that Perry Mason on the
list? And John Grisham? What about that Spice Girl?<br>
<br>
The petition with 15,000 signatures surfaced shortly before the
April 22 Earth Day and quickly became music to global warming's
critics. They highlighted it in news releases, at congressional
hearings, even on the Senate floor.<br>
<br>
The work of a chemist at a small research institute in Oregon, the
petition of scientists - and some nonscientists, it turned out - has
become the center of the latest furor in a contentious debate over
whether human activity is changing the earth's climate.<br>
<br>
Arthur Robinson, a physical chemist from Cave Junction, Ore., who
circulated the petition by mail among scientists, said questionable
names were added to the petition by pranksters.<br>
<br>
The petition urges rejection of the accord signed last year in
Kyoto, Japan, which sets procedures for dramatically lowering carbon
dioxide emissions - the principal greenhouse gas. The petition
maintains the growth of carbon-dioxide emissions, in fact, may be
beneficial to plants and humans.<br>
<br>
While the petition has been portrayed by global-warming skeptics as
authoritative evidence that many scientists reject the catastrophic
scenario of global climate change, Robinson acknowledged that little
attempt was done to verify credentials of those who responded.<br>
<br>
Several environmental groups questioned dozens of the names: "Perry
S. Mason" (the fictitious lawyer?), "Michael J. Fox" (the actor?),
"Robert C. Byrd" (the senator?), "John C. Grisham" (the
lawyer-author?). And then there's the Spice Girl, a k a. Geraldine
Halliwell: The petition listed "Dr. Geri Halliwell" and "Dr.
Halliwell."<br>
<br>
Asked about the pop singer, Robinson said he was duped. The returned
petition, one of thousands of mailings he sent out, identified her
as having a degree in microbiology and living in Boston. "It's
fake," he said.<br>
<br>
"When we're getting thousands of signatures there's no way of
filtering out a fake," Robinson, 56, said in a telephone interview
from Oregon.<br>
<br>
Robinson, who acknowledges he has done no direct research into
global warming, said the petition includes thousands of people
"qualified to speak on this subject" including biochemists,
geophysicists and climatologists.<br>
