    The talk was about how climatic change evidence is collected, disseminated, and acted upon. Schneider advocated wartime levels of spending on technological responses to global warming, including the application of best practice in the emerging industrial sector in middle income countries. The most disturbing material related to Schneider’s visit to Greenland, where Konnie Steffen (U of Colorado) has been tracking ’sink holes’ of fresh water well inland on the ice cap. These are so numerous, that Schneider is beginning to wonder if some form of climatic ‘tipping point’ is upon us. This is what all climate scientists fear.
