I was the person in the federal government that captured and stored the remote sensing data for global climate studies for most of 1990s. NCAR in Boulder and Cheyenne, NASA Goddard in Maryland... these were the centers in the US government responsible for looking at climate. I was at NASA Ames in Mountain View. When it was clear the Lockheed Martin was punting their multi-100 million dollar contract to build the EOSDIS ( Earth Observation System - Distributed Information System ), VP Al Gore asked NASA administrator if NASA had any other resource or contracts that could help. The only other NASA sites ( at that time ) with supercomputer facilities was Ames, Goddard, and JPL. Ames, in the Numerical Aerodynamics Simulation facility ( we did virtual reality Wind Tunnels ) was chosen... and I was the team lead for the supercomputer mass storage system ( just outed myself here, oh well ). Gore chose us to build the new mass storage facility and networks from the TDRS down link at White Sands and then distribute the then "massive" datasets ( 3 PB ) to Goddard, NCAR, and 7 universities around the nation.
Not looking at the temperature gage doesn't change the temperature. You can't change physics by simply wishing it away.
Parts of this world are changing... rapidly... their will be more weather related disasters when we keep treating the earth like a test tube.
Of course the earth will survive. life of earth will survive. It has in the past. However 9 billion people may not. Fewer than 1 billion might survive, maybe. I guess we will find out.

Sorry NCAR.
I hate these people that are this willing to be ignorant with the heat of a thousand suns.
