Note that Socolow in the climate/energy field is considered something of a hopeful moderate.

Probably should have attended this conference. List of speakers, beginning with Lisa Jackson, new EPA chief, looks great. Here's a roulette wheel/graphic representing a massive recent unified study, out of a huge program at M.I.T., which found a substantially greater probability of catastrophic warming this century, assuming (as we saw last century) no substantive policy change.
