Climate and Weather

673 pages. Safe bet. Lol

The last numbered page is 542, the last interesting page is 536, and a good third of the document is just framework. The Executive Summary (pages 11-31) covers just about everything in the report.

And it should be no challenge to most 6th-grade science graduates - very little math and lots of pictures.

I heard it has little new Science, mostly a good summary that was feared would be suppressed by the book burning admin.

There is some good stuff on sources of carbon in the atmosphere besides CO2. Methane has a stronger greenhouse effect than CO2 (x30 or more, per molecule) but lasts a shorter time in the atmosphere, and the releases of it from seafloor hydrates and thawing tundra is increasing. Carbon black (the black stuff in soot and automobile tire dust) tends to have a cooling effect, since it blocks incoming sunlight directly. I don't think that is "new science", but the writeup was interesting.

Right, it's a good summary.
 
Mr t said he would make climate change go away (it was all invented by the Chinese, right?) and he has. At least mention of it is going away. After the USDA newspeak memos leaked out, my facebook news page exploded with over 100 items all referring to the same thing.
