600 g piece of eye fillet
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup aioli
sesame oil
1 stalk of green shallots
1 tsp white sesames
1 tsp black sesames
Ponzu Dressing
3 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs orange juice
1/4 tsp rice wine vinegar
1/4 tsp mirin
Remove the meat from the fridge and any packaging, pat dry with a paper towel and leave on a plate to come to room temperature.
To make the garlic aioli, place 1 clove of unpeeled garlic on a roasting tray, coat with oil and lightly salt. Roast for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked.
To make the ponzu dressing combine all ingredients in a jar, shake well and set aside.
Sliced shallots into 5cm batons and then slice finely into strips. Place in a bowl of iced water and set aside to curl up. Once curled, remove and leave to dry on a paper towel.
Once the garlic is cooked, mince and add to the aioli. Add a couple of drops of sesame oil and mix well, set aside.
Slice the remaining garlic and shallow fry in oil until crisp and golden, set aside on paper towel.
Lightly salt your meat on all sides. Heat a lightly oiled fry pan on high until screaming hot. When hot, sear the eye fillet on all sides for about 30-40 seconds until slightly browned. Once all sides have been seared, place on a plate, loosely cover with foil and leave to rest for 6 minutes. Once rested and slightly cooled, slice finely and arrange on a plate.
Sprinkle with garlic chips, sesame seeds and shallots. Drizzle with ponzu and serve with ample aioli.

EMCS Industries was established in 1955 in the beautiful West Coast town of Victoria, BC, Canada. The Company was originally established under the name Electrolytic Marine Corrosion Services by Frank Chappel and Lauder Ramsay who had invented a revolutionary seawater electrolytic protection technology. The original concept was based on the use of impressed current with Aluminum anodes to control corrosion of seawater piping systems. The product was patented in 1961 and manufactured by Electrolytic Marine Corrosion Services and marketed worldwide for several decades under the trade name 'Cathelco' in North America. The development and improvement of the original system over the years produced a combined anti-corrosion and anti-fouling system
In 1983 the company name was changed to EMCS Industries Ltd and the patented product name was changed to MARELCO™. EMCS owns the MARELCO™ trade mark worldwide and owned the Cathelco™ trade mark for North America until September of 2015 when it was sold. Also in 2015 Environmental and Marine World Class Solutions Corp purchased a majority stake in EMCS Industries Ltd with a view to growing the business into a larger global presence and adding new products to combat corrosion and biofouling in the marine industry. The MARELCO™ system is approved by Lloyds Register, ABS, Canadian Coast Guard, Transport Canada and the US Coast Guard and EMCS and MARELCO™ are represented in 18 countries.
EMCS Industries Ltd now also provides the MARELCO™ Hydrosonic Hull Tender™ System to combat extreme marine fouling in fresh and salt water that accumulates rapidly in sea chests, cross over tanks, box coolers, sea suctions and the internal piping systems in large Cruise Ships, Luxury Yachts and Commercial Shipping vessels. The system also combats fouling that occurs on Offshore Platforms and ocean based wind farms. The MARELCO™ Cathodic Protection system (ICCP) was added to the product line to further boost the scope of products to deal with corrosion. In addition, new innovations to the Electrolytic systems such as special Treatment Tanks, Anode Cages and a fully integrated control system have been introduced to reduce the resources required on board the vessel to run the system efficiently and reduce energy consumption.
After 60 years in business EMCS Industries Ltd supplies the world class MARELCO™ product manufactured by EMCS Industries Ltd in its brand new facility in Sidney, BC, Canada and is sold internationally to our world class customers which comprise of some of the largest Ship Owners and Boat Builders in the industry. The EMCS and MARELCO™ names are well known and trusted in the industry and under the new leadership EMCS Industries Ltd intends to continue to add valuable innovations to eliminate the major biofouling and corrosion problems facing the shipping industry today.
In summary, EMCS Industries provides world class products that solve costly problems for our world class customers. We intend to continue to make a difference to not only our customers, but to the planet itself.

We meet every other Friday. Look at individual event dates to see the plan du jour. We lead with a performance or two then either jam, have a lesson, or combo of both. Song suggestions and volunteers for leading the group are always encouraged. If you are an old pro or total newbie, all are welcome. See you soon!
I just uploaded a bunch of songs that we've been playing for our gigs recently. We have to decide what we're going to play for the Exeter gig on the 28th, so we'll be practicing most of this and making decisions on Friday.

I've posted the Open Mic Log for Friday in the files area. Four acts but could use one more. Sorry I won't be in attendance and will miss the performances. Chris is hosting and June will record videos. Off to catch the Boston Express to Logan and should be in Hawaii by 4 p.m. today. I've got an appointment at the Kamaka factory on Friday to get my ukulele evaluated for a couple of buzzes and then a tour of their factory. Take care everyone and see you on 9/5.

I've got two (maybe three) acts lined up for Friday, August 22 and these guys and gals are great. Chis will be the host and June the videographer. I'd like to get three more performances scheduled before I leave on Wednesday. Beginners and newbies are especially encouraged to sign up but looking for repeat performers too. Contact me through Meetup email or [masked] to get on the list.

Product Description
'The most readable, sceptical and original of modern historians' - Michael Foot 'Remarkable ... Taylor here manages in some 200 illustrated pages to say almost everything that is important for an understanding and, indeed, intellectual digestion of that vast event' Observer 'It is unlikely that there will be a more satisfactory compact survey of that Armageddon' Newsweek 'What makes Taylor's book outstanding is his capacity to penetrate through the undergrowth of controversy and conflicting interpretation to the central truth' New York Review of Books 'Probably the most controversial historian in the English-speaking world' The Times
About the Author
A.J.P. Taylor (1906-1990) was one of the most brilliant historians of the twentieth century. He served as a lecturer at the Universities of Manchester, Oxford, and London.

Contrary to what some have said, it is not primarily a diatribe against the generals. Taylor may not especially like them (how many do, aside from the late John Terraine?), but his verdict on Haig, in particular, is fair and even generous, especially for the time of writing
"He was a master of railway timetables, deploying divisions as skilfully as any general of his time. His strategical judgements were sound within the framework of the Western front, though he lacked the technical means for carrying them to success until almost the end of the war. - - - Haig had to do what he did, and, though he did not succeed, no one better was found to take his place."
Not a bad epitaph, especially compared to some others Haig has received.
Taylor is tougher on the politicians, who were, after all, in ultimate charge. He records how Joffre had sensibly decided to evacuate Verdun, only to be overruled by Briand. There are many verbal gems, notably his description of the Zimmermann note as "a bright idea such as only a Foreign Office could conceive".
On some points, his prejudices have been toned down, so that emaciated "victims of Allied intervention in Russia" in the first edition became "Victims of civil war in Russia" in the next and finally just "War and famine in Russia" in the paperback. But some still shine through. In particular, Lloyd George is an exception to his low opinion of the political leadership.Read more ›
Taylor's book is ideal for the newcomer in that it is readable, concise and well illustrated with photos. Unfortunately, if somebody was ONLY going to read one book on the First War, I personally don't think it should be this one. Taylor was nothing if not a controversialist and this is typical Taylor. Taylor considered his work a success if it upset the apple cart and got people talking and with this he clearly succeeds (according to Taylor the whole thing was an enormous accident). He loved to try to find tiny causes for massive, apocalyptic events - in this case he latches onto railway timetables. Quite how close this is to reality and how much of the whole story it tells is debatable and to be honest I think the book has dated somewhat. It's a product of its time as well; there are some history books that just scream "child of the sixties" and this is one of them.
On the credit side, as mentioned earlier the book is an easy read for the novice and the photos are excellent. I would just say - don't take what is contained within as gospel and while this book would be a worthy addition to your collection, it is important not to confine your reading purely to this book; a broader spread of works will allow you to see differing, perhaps more rigorously sourced, views and to put Taylor's work in context.Read more ›
As a general overview of First World War, I don't feel like recommanding this book to others, for it omitted many things. For example, Taylor just ignored Armenian massacre which was committed by Turkey in 1915. Any way, no historian could compress First World War into such a small volume without jettisoning something important.
The strength of this book is that Taylor squarely faced some awkward questions which other historians usually avoid. (If you can read between the lines, you would learn much from this book. If you can't, this book is just a big chunk of contradiction.) Though Taylor pointed out many follies of First World War, he said that it was well implemented in a sense: the subjects of the Habsburg Empire obtained their national freedom; some of the subjects of the Ottoman Empire started on the same path; the war postponed the domination of Europe by Germany, or perhaps prevented it.

I need to find the conditions for the real part of a complex number to be negative. I thought Reduce would be perfect for this, but it gives redundant output (even after simplification). For example:
In[543]: Reduce[{Re[-1 - Sqrt[a - b] ] < 0, a > 0, b > 0}, {a, b}, Complexes]
Out[543]: a > 0 && (0 < b < a || b >= a)
As a and b are assumed to be real because they appear in an inequality, there needs to be no further assumption about the relation between a and b, the result I expect is:
Out[543]: a > 0 && b > 0
is there a good reason why that is not obtained? The (in my eyes) redundant results accumulate for more complex expressions and I need to reduce quite a few of them. Is there a trick to get the expected result? I played around with choosing Reals as the domain and choosing no Domain at all, but nothing really gives me what I want. By the way I am analyzing the stability of fixed points by checking eigenvalues...a very common task.

Comments about Whirlpool 3.8 Cu. Ft. Top Loading Washer - White:
Bought this washer a year and half ago and it has broke twice. This time it's the lock. It keeps locking and unlocking as soon as it's turned on and will not wash clothes and of course it's out of warranty. The matching dryer also broke first year an the whole board had to be replaced.

IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LOWER THAN 1 STAR, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD GIVE THIS PRODUCT (WTW5800BW). Unfortunately, I purchased this washer in January 2016; upon the first wash, there were dark gray streaks on my clothes. I tried different cycles, detergents and much smaller loads, but the same thing kept happening. So I called the store and they said I had to call Whirlpool (BTW WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE) where the rep asked a list of questions and then tried to teach me how to use the washer machine AS IF I had not used so many different types before. Yet, I followed the instructions again. They sent the same representative out twice, and both times he confirmed that I was using the machine correctly, it was not dirty inside, etc... the second time he just said this "type of machine DOES NOT WASH, IT JUST PUSHES DIRT OUT" unfortunately in my case, it just adds and pushes dirt into my clothes and mess them up. I called Whirlpool a third time, the so-called supervisor asked if I wanted a second opinion but then the rep said if turns out it is a user issue, they would charge for the diagnosis (mind you, I am well within warranty period). Needless to say, Whirlpool refuses to authorize a return so I could get a washer that actually works. THE CLOTHES COME OUT DIRTY, WORST THAN WHEN THEY WENT IN!!! THIS IS ABSURD!!!! I WISH THESE MEGA COMPANIES ACTUALLY HAD REGARDS FOR CUSTOMERS WHO BELIEVED THEIR PRODUCTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE EFFICIENT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I JUST THREW MY MONEY AWAY AS I HAVE TO GET RID OF THIS ONE AND BUY A NEW MACHINE SINCE THIS ONE MESSES UP EVEN MY LITTLE INFANT'S CLOTHES!!! I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED AT WHIRLPOOL'S PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! I PLAN TO NEVER MAKE ANOTHER WHIRLPOOL PURCHASE.

I have had this washer for a year now and every month theres a new reason I resent ever buying it. To begin with, it leaves horrible soap stains on all of my clothes. It has ruined more than one piece of clothing for this reason.About two months in it began to horribly knot my clothes in the washer and leave them a terrible wrinkled mess that the dryer couldn't even touch. Fast forward a few months and now the washer is not even cleaning all of my clothes. Every load I take out, only half of a shirt or a quarter of a pair of pants will even be wet and the other half will be covered in soap. I could not be more dissatisfied with this washer. I have scoured the manual and done absolutely everything it says to do. I use a tablespoon of soap. I have tried liquid soap and powder soap. I clean the washer with affresh.NOTHING has made a difference. Do NOT buy this washing machine.

New washer
By SandyJ

I received this washer as part of local utility's energy efficiency swap - they took my old washer away and left me this one. It's gorgeous! It's very water and energy efficient and seems to do a good job of cleaning the clothes. It has a large drum with no center agitator so it fits a lot inside. We love it.
looks modern inovative

Not only is it environmental, minimum quantities of water are required and uses little electricity, it is relatively quiet and lets you know when your washing is done.
A Huge Disappointment
By Barb

I've had this washer for a year now and still hate it. I've never heard a washer make such loud noises. I have to keep my laundry room door closed during use. The machine must be hard on clothes as I keep finding broken seam and hem threads on new clothing.

Sixteen-year-old Berry Morgan lives with her mother in Rockville, Maryland, where her mother works as a reading tutor. Berry's father, a lobbyist, lives in San Francisco with his girlfriend. He comes in and out of Berry's life unpredictably. A year and a half ago, he showed up at her school with shocking news: Berry's sister was dead. While working as a volunteer at a school in Capetown, South Africa, Laura had been brutally murdered. Now Berry sets out on a two-week trip to South Africa with her father to attend a memorial service for Laura. He has arranged some other activities as well: a business meeting in Johannesburg during which Berry awaits him at a posh hotel; a guided tour of Soweto by minivan; and three days at Krueger National Park, where they live in round huts and go out spotting giraffes by day and elephants, leopards, and lions by night. Berry and her father's painful journey forces them to look beyond their own grieving and bear witness to a country's tortured search for truth and reconciliation.

I enjoyed the novel Many Stones by Carolyn Coman because I am a teenager and I feel that this particular story can be very easily related to adolescence. This is because throughout the plot line the main character ,Berry, has a growing conflict with her father, similar to how teens commonly have disagreements with their parents. This story, however, becomes less than relateable when Berry's sister, Laura, gets murdered while preforming philanthropic duties in the country of South Africa. Laura's murder causes Berry to spiral into a state of grief and depression, making this story a little dark at some points. This is followed by a rather Hollywood ending where she forgives her father and moves past the death of her sister by finding passion in the humanitarian actions that Laura had once took part in and loved. In my opinion the book was overall entertaining, and I thought that the author, Carolyn Coman did an excellent job of depicting the struggles one faces by the loss of a loved one.
I loved how this book explored the views of both an angered teen who is mad at everyone and a father who is trying to reconnect with his daughter. This story is sad but it makes you appreciate the family that you have. It also makes you realize that no matter how good things are going they can change in an instant. I thought this book was very true and realistic of how a realationship can change between loved ones after a death of a person you both care for. This book is a must read if you are looking for a story of two family members trying to reconnect with eachother.
This is a great book for young girls. It was one of those books that you just can't put down. This is a very well written book and i enjoyed it very much.
I'm in the prosses of finishing the book. But still the powerfully discriped novel catches my breath. I enjoy it very much. Nice work Carolyne!

I've been using this for about a year or so now, and am now on the hunt for another foundation. Reasons for this being, I'm looking for a foundation that is longer wearing and doesn't transfer too much. Neither of which the Bobbi Brown do for me, hence the lower rating.
By the end of my 8 hour work day, the foundation has mostly worn off - mostly onto my (white) keyboard and clothes around my neck and face (scarves/hats).
I am still using this foundation, only because it's the closest colour match for my dark yellow toned skin in all of the foundations I've tried. That said, I have to mix warm honey and golden to get a colour match, and it still is not quite right (looks orangey in some light). I'm about NC44-45 Mac.
The price of this foundation is around $90 NZD which is ridiculous, when it doesn't even last all day, and transfers so much and hence why I'm looking for an alternative now. Although I can get decent colour match in this foundation, for the price I expect better performance in other areas which it doesn't do.

It purchased this 4 days ago and wore it everyday, but returned it today for a full refund. I have sensitive combo dry skin and it made around my nose and eyes sting. Other that the colour match was perfect and the finish was lovely, it really looked like I had no make up on. I'm a NW15 and purchased the shade cool beige. I have a neutral undertone and loved that this shade didn't show up yellow or orange. I thought it looked great but a few people did ask me if I was ok as I looked ill! The finish looked lovely on my dry patches, really didn't cling to dry patches. I think this has a light to medium coverage, defiantly not full coverage, even after applying two layers. I was just so disappointed as I really wanted this to be my HG foundation. I've now gone back to using my Mac prolong wear.

I never write reviews but seeing this had so many bad reviews I had to chime in. I love this foundation. I have combo skin and this foundation stays on way longer than any other foundation I have tried and believe I have tried them all! I read that some say it feels "wet" or "sticky", I think either because of your moisturizer. you put to much or you don't let it sink into your skin before you apply this foundation. it's best applied with an air pro brush from Sephora working in sections because it does dry fast and you won't be able to blend it. I also set it with the Bobbi brown sheer matte powder. I have never had a foundation stay on like this one. and this one doenst look orange or pink, stays true to color.

I feel like such a traitor because I absolutely adore Bobbi Brown. The best mascara (smokey eye) shimmer bricks, bronzers, cleansing oil but this foundation, I feel, is the worst foundation I have ever tried on me.
I have dry to medium skin with acne scars and freckles and the foundation sank into all my pores (like glamglow when it looks really gross on your nose and really dark on your pores?) Clung to every dry patch, didn't cover anything or even out any redness around my nose, made me look dull! Basically everything you don't want your foundation to do. I definitely have tried it several times to see if I could make it work; tried different application methods, different primers even different toners because I know some can cause my foundations to oxidise.
Please don't waste your money girls. Buy Bobbi's smokey eye mascara instead ;) xx

I tried countless foundations from drugstore to top of the market brands and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear would have to be the best foundation I have come by! The texture is more thicker than say your NARS Sheer Glow or All Day Luminous and if you suffer from combination skin like myself I suggest applying a primer ( Hourglass Mineral Veil is a godsend) because without it can stick to dry spots! This foundation dries really quickly and matte and I always apply Too Faced Coco Powder and can go a whole working day without any touch ups whatsoever. I have medium skin tone with yellow/natural undertones and use Cool Beige 3.25 and Too Faced Light/Medium as I hate any pink tones. The only thing I could fault with the Bobbi Long Wear is it works better in the cool to dryer season- it's not a foundation that's going to benefit during the hot humid seasons and the less you use the better application I find, even tho it's a medium build-able product less is best! I normally apply the long wear with my BareMinerals Precision Face brush but am curious to see if I will get an even 'better' application using my fingers- the reviews I've read are recommending no brush application for a smoother, flawless result. Oh and the last part to make you cringe is that it's $70 (AUS) for a bottle, but it lasts twice as long as the drugstore foundations and your final judgement on the product after trying it for yourselves will come down to your application

Not sure why this long wear foundation has gotten negative reviews. Perhaps they have recently changed the formula (?). Usually I use Armani Luminous Silk (with a primer) which has an excellent natural feel, however for me, it does not cover problem areas such as brown spots and broken capillaries effectively: it is too light. In the past, I've used Bobbi Brown and decided to come back because I needed heavier coverage due to sun damage and brown spots. For the level of coverage (medium to full), this formula is better than many others on the market. I've tried the Makeup Forever HD which was way too dry and chalky with the formula settling into my lines (how did it get high ratings??). It did not have a natural finish (and I used a primer first too). Bobbi Brown had a more natural feel with heavier coverage-- it reduced the appearance of my brown spots significantly. Also, for foundation color matching, Bobbi Brown can't be beat!!
One caveat-- you will need to use a primer or moisturizing lotion (you can purchase oil free moisturizers) first for best results! I have combination skin and use color #3

The foundation has kind of waxy-moussy thick consistency which makes it bit difficult to spread.
It is medium coverage. The foundation did a pretty good job covering the imperfections and skin redness, yet my face did look as if it lacked dimension. Longevity is pretty good. A little oil does seep through, but it is not a big deal.
The colour I got (Sand) is good for fair to medium skin - NC/NW20. It is quite neutral, does not run orangey. No oxidation observed.

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews on this foundation? I prefer it to my nars and mac foundation. I'm not sure what it's like in the darker shades but in porcelain it is so pretty on my skin and find it to be a medium to full coverage :-)

Good Lord, what was I thinking? I had been wanting to try Bobbi Brown's foundations for, like, forever� and then I finally got my chance. I wandered into a dept. store wearing no make-up, marched right up to the Bobbi Brown counter, and asked to be color-matched for a light-medium coverage foundation. Fine. So the Bobbi Brown girl matched me up to this Long Wear Even Finish Foundation SPF 15 in the color "Natural." The color match itself is 'okay'� although I think I would have much preferred a shade darker. I can see the "light spots/streaks" around my nose after application, which indicates to me that the shade is a tad too light. If it was the right color, it would blend right in and I wouldn't have to keep rubbing my skin in an attempt to erase the streaks. I use primer with this, and I think I would have a heckuva time trying to get this on my face without one. The formula seems a bit "dry" and doesn't meld right in to your skin, but rather just sits there. I dislike the lavender smell- and normally, I LIKE lavender! I was disappointed to see lavender in the ingredients, because I have sensitive skin and was afraid this would cause a rash. I am sure if I used it consistently, I would have a bumpy face from this� but I just don't like it enough to use it at all anymore. My biggest disappointment about this foundation is the lack of coverage I get from it. Granted, I don't want to look like I'm wearing a mask and my foundation was applied with a putty knife� BUT I DO want it to *at LEAST* cover my mild rosacea spots! This doesn't cover anything! It wears more like a tinted moisturizer on my skin than a foundation, and that is not what I was in the market for. That was why I went into the store without makeup on in the first place: I wanted the makeup artist to SEE my skin flaws and recommend a foundation that would blur out the flaws. (Isn't that the whole PURPOSE of wearing foundation in the first place?) She failed, the foundation failed- and I failed myself by spending $48 + tax on this. Looks like my HG is still my HG, and I will be sticking to what really works for me. I will probably try this one more time in the winter to see if the color match is any better� and if it still doesn't cover the pinker areas around my nose� this is going straight in the garbage. I have no time or patience for products that don't do what they're supposed to.

I'm on my 3rd bottle of this foundation.
Something you really need to understand is this foundation is very matte and sets very quickly! I had to learn the hard way that not a single foundation brush would work, so ladies use your fingers or beauty blenders.
I used this while I was on Roaccutane and it didn't dry out my face as long as I used a hydrating primer underneath.
Now my skin is acne free and very normal I use less and the coverage I get with my beauty blender is perfect.
Negative points:
1. Price - $70.00 in Aus (Crazy)
2. It sinks into my lines around my mouth and forehead and I'm only 25! I have yet to find a way to stop this.
Even with these issues I still buy it because the pump bottle is so easy to use and very controllable, also the colour match is prefect as I have beigey-yellow toned skin and I am "Beige 3" in their range.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 11/7/11
BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Browns starting receiver Mohamed Massaquoi has been sent home to rest, one day after feeling "woozy" during Cleveland's loss at Houston. Massaquoi sustained a concussion in the Browns' Oct. 23 game against Seattle and missed last week's game at San Francisco. It was his second concussion in 13 months. He sat out one day of practice last week but started Sunday before he was taken out late in the third quarter. Browns coach Pat Shurmur said the team's medical staff is closely monitoring Massaquoi's health. Also, Shurmur said running back Peyton Hillis, who reinjured his left hamstring in practice Friday, will miss his fourth straight game this week. Shurmur said there are no immediate plans to put Hillis on injured reserve. Running back Montario Hardesty (calf) will "most likely" miss Sunday's game against St. Louis.

Irreversible But Not Unstoppable: The Ghost Of Climate Change Yet To Come
CREDIT: Wikimedia Commons
Unlike Scrooge, we don't get a spirit to show us what the future holds if we don't change our ways.
That's what we have science for. In recent years, observations have confirmed the key projections climate scientists have been making for decades. But some of the most important impacts have been occurring much faster than scientists expected, including sea level rise. As recently as a decade ago, scientists did not expect that the great ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica would melt enough this century to contribute much to total sea level rise. Now, observations suggest they will be a primary if not the primary driver of sea level rise.
Recently, we've had many of the world's leading scientists and scientific bodies warning us of what is to come.
Yes, it seems unlikely that we will adopt the aggressive but near-zero-net-cost policies needed to stabilize at 450 ppm atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, and then quickly come back to 350 ppm, thanks in large part to the deniers, along with their political pals and media enablers. But the two biggest carbon polluters (China and U.S.) have struck a game-changing deal that could ultimately avoid some of the worst impacts — if other key countries join in and, then all countries pursue even stronger emissions cuts in the coming decades.
On the other hand, the IPCC made clear in its final synthesis report of the recent scientific literature that whatever changes we do bring to pass will likely be "irreversible on a multi-century to millennial time scale," harming the lives of billions and billions of people.
The question of whether it's "too late," doesn't have one purely scientific answer. It does seem clear that the most dangerous carbon-cycle feedback — the defrosting permafrost — hasn't kicked in yet but likely will within two decades, adding 0.4°F – 1.5°F to total global warming by 2100. On the other hand, part of the West Antarctic ice sheet now does appear close to if not past the point of irreversible collapse. That said, the worst case of sea level rise can still be avoided, as can many other of the most serious impacts.
If humanity gets truly serious about emissions reduction — and by serious I mean "World War II serious" in both scale and urgency — we could go to near-zero global emissions in, say, two decades and then quickly go carbon negative. It wouldn't be easy, far from it in fact. But it would be vastly cheaper and preferable to the alternative. A few years ago, scientists found the "net present value of climate change impacts" to be an astronomical $1240 trillion on our current emissions path, making mitigation to under 450 ppm a must.
Delay is very risky and very, very expensive. As the International Energy Agency has explained, "on planned policies, rising fossil energy use will lead to irreversible and potentially catastrophic climate change."
"Delaying action is a false economy: for every $1 of investment in cleaner technology that is avoided in the power sector before 2020, an additional $4.30 would need to be spent after 2020 to compensate for the increased emissions."
Action now will save trillions and trillions of dollars.
Five years ago a NOAA-led paper laid out some alarming predictions for our climate-changed future.
…the climate change that is taking place because of increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop … Among illustrative irreversible impacts that should be expected if atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations increase from current levels near 385 parts per million by volume (ppmv) to a peak of 450-600 ppmv over the coming century are irreversible dry-season rainfall reductions in several regions comparable to those of the "dust bowl" era and inexorable sea level rise.
And we know that large parts of the currently habited and arable land are at risk of turning into Dust Bowls, gravely threatening global food security.
We most certainly do not want to significantly exceed 450 ppm for any length of time, given that Dust-Bowlification isn't the only impact that is irreversible — see "Science: CO2 levels haven't been this high for 15 million years, when it was 5° to 10°F warmer and seas were 75 to 120 feet higher."
That said, RealClimate made a good point with the title of its 2009 post, "Irreversible Does Not Mean Unstoppable", explaining, "we at RealClimate have been getting a lot of calls from journalists about this paper, and some of them seem to have gone all doomsday on us."
Indeed, the NOAA-led study was the perfect paper for someone, like say, Lou Dobbs, who went from hard-core doubt/denial to credulous hopelessness in one breath, as he did January 30, 2009 [(h/t ClimateScienceWatch)]:
Let's assume, for right now, that there is such a thing as climate change, let's assume it's manmade. What indication — what evidence do we have, what reason do we have to believe that mankind can do anything significantly to reverse it because a number of people, as you know in the last two weeks, are reported that, that, this is a 1,000-year trend irrespective of what we do.
Yeah, let's assume, for right now, there is climate change and let's further assume its manmade, considering the U.S. National Academy of Sciences labels as "settled facts" that "the Earth system is warming and that much of this warming is very likely due to human activities." Then let's tell the public the latest research means if there is manmade climate change, the situation is now hopeless — when in fact the latest research makes it all the more urgent to keep total emissions and concentrations as low as possible.
Seriously. This guy had his own hour TV show on a major cable network … albeit one that fired its staff covering science and environment and hired a psychic to cover climate change. (OK, let's assume, for right now, that I made up that last part — though CNN's Headline News channel actually asked a psychic to opine on the missing Malaysia Flight 370 earlier this year!)

The whole world has become Dickensian (see "A Tale of Two Disasters"), which brings us to another Dickens story relevant to the theme that irreversible does not mean unstoppable.
"Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point," said Scrooge, "answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?"
Still the Ghost pointed downward to the grave by which it stood.
"Men's courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead," said Scrooge. "But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me."
The Spirit was immovable as ever.
Scrooge crept towards it, trembling as he went; and following the finger, read upon the stone of the neglected grave his own name, EBENEEZER SCROOGE.
"Am I that man who lay upon the bed?" he cried, upon his knees.
The finger pointed from the grave to him, and back again.
"No, Spirit! Oh no, no!"
The finger still was there.
"Spirit!" he cried, tight clutching at its robe, "hear me. I am not the man I was. I will not be the man I must have been but for this intercourse. Why show me this, if I am past all hope?"
For the first time the hand appeared to shake.
"Good Spirit," he pursued, as down upon the ground he fell before it: "Your nature intercedes for me, and pities me. Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me, by an altered life."
The kind hand trembled.
Or, as RealClimate put it less poetically:
But you have to remember that the climate changes so far, both observed and committed to, are minor compared with the business-as-usual forecast for the end of the century. It's further emissions we need to worry about. Climate change is like a ratchet, which we wind up by releasing CO2. Once we turn the crank, there's no easy turning back to the natural climate. But we can still decide to stop turning the crank, and the sooner the better.
Indeed, we are only committed to under 2°C total warming so far, which may be manageable — especially if we did keep CO2 concentrations from peaking below 450 ppm, the small amount of CO2 we are likely to be able to remove from the atmosphere this century could well take us below the danger zone.
But if we don't reverse emissions trends far faster than currently envisioned, we will certainly double and probably triple that temperature rise, most likely negating any practical strategy to undo the impacts for hundreds of years:
- National Geographic Maps Our Coastline After We Melt All Earth's Ice, Raising Seas Over 200 Feet
- Science stunner — On our current emissions path, CO2 levels in 2100 will hit levels last seen when the Earth was 29°F (16°C) hotter.
Such is the climate change yet to come.

A Tai Tapu home is the perfect gathering point for one extended Christchurch family at Christmas.
Home for Christmas
Down here, in what some consider the upside-down hemisphere, Christmas is barbecue and beach weather, and our colours are bright greens and multi-hued florals, rather than dark winter reds and forest greens.
While we do enjoy participating in the traditional rituals and decorations appropriate to a cold-climate Noël, we have plenty of our own customs and pleasures to celebrate.
At this time of the year, there are delicious new potatoes and baby carrots ready for the pot, peas to be podded and fresh leafy greens ready for gathering for a midday feast.
And that's by no means all. There are fat black cherries, blushing peaches, golden apricots, red and blackcurrants, fragrant strawberries and mouth-popping raspberries to be tossed on a pav or plucked and eaten straight from the cane.
By Christmas Day, one Tai Tapu family is able to enjoy the best of fresh, seasonal produce with neither a journey to a grower nor a hectic foray to the supermarket required.
The family's Christmas table might have a turkey and a ham à la tradition, but every vegetable and piece of fruit for both the midday and evening meals is collected from the bountiful kitchen garden that is lovingly maintained by the lady of the house.
This family, with four (now adult) children, has always lived on large properties, farming sheep in Mid-Canterbury and Balclutha before moving to Tai Tapu about four years ago.
While moving to the outskirts of Christchurch, the family still wanted a good amount of land around them. "Having been on the farm, you need the elbow room," the owner says. "I find being in town, the noise of the traffic and the people talking is quite stressful."
The family love the peace of rural life and rather than move to a tight suburban situation overlooked by adjacent houses, they chose a four-hectare lifestyle block with neighbours close enough should they need company, but far enough away for privacy.
These country roads offer other surprises as well. "When we walk around the block on the open road, we come across quite a few pheasants and quail out here."
The owners of the property run a few sheep and have long-term plans for the garden. They have planted an extensive orchard, with every type of fruit and several nut trees suitable for a temperate climate, as well as the obligatory lemons, lime and kaffir lime for culinary purposes.
A sense of space carries through into the house as well, with its 494sqm footprint, including two double garages plus porticoed pavilion and porch (which was seen off by the earthquake).
Inside, everything is scaled up. There is a high stud throughout; large, open living areas and a hallway leading to the six bedrooms is wide enough for at least two people to walk abreast without rustling each other's clothing.
The master bedroom is a peaceful retreat at the end of one wing. It catches the afternoon sun and has a grand view across the lawns to the flowering shrubbery and boundary trees beyond. "We open up the doors if it's a nice night."
There is a spacious, well-hidden walk-in robe between the room and its ensuite. "It's so good to come home to your own shower when you've been away."
On the day Avenues visited, the bed was dressed in deep berry reds.
"I love the reds and burgundy with the dark graphite carpet," the owner says.
These rich colours are echoed in the deep grape feature wall at the head of the bed. The remainder of the room and most of the house is covered in neutral textured wallpaper.
Christmas in this house is a medium to large affair, depending on how many of the extended family are able to attend.
"We have six grandchildren, and there's always a minimum of nine people for Christmas and sometimes 18 or 20. We have the table - or two tables - set up in the dining area, all nicely decorated, and we always have a real tree, because Christmas just isn't Christmas without the smell of a pine tree."
The open-plan central living area is the heart of the home. With its easy flow from the kitchen and sitting room to the dining room and lounge, it is the perfect situation for a large family gathering. The Christmas tree has pride of place in the lounge and through the bi-fold windows, fairy lights hung on the beams of the sheltered pavilion add extra sparkle.
In the winter, the massive woodburner in the lounge is the sole source of heating for the entire house. The concrete slab holds and disperses the heat to the far corners of the house. "Because of the high stud, it transfers heat quite readily throughout."
The two-oven kitchen has multiple under-bench drawers for storage and a large central island black granite bench, providing plenty of room to work on when many hands are helping prepare the Christmas feast.
The kitchen is a hive of activity in the lead-up to festivities. Favourite desserts, such as a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake, are prepared beforehand and decorated with berries from the garden just before serving.
There is extra preparation room and stacks of storage in the huge walk-in pantry behind the kitchen, with its motion-sensitive light switching.
A cut-out feature wall between the kitchen and dining area acts as a practical servery, a shelf and extra opening for light flow.
After lunch, the family can relax in the lounge, spill out on to the lawn for post-prandial games, play ball with the two resident foxy dogs, or catch the breeze on comfortable wooden rockers in the pavilion, which is wired for light and sound and sheltered from the prevailing nor'easterly.
So let's raise a seasonal toast to berries and Jersey Bennes; to after-lunch cricket in the backyard, a lazy game of petanque or simply a snooze in the shade. There's a great deal to be said for the Kiwi summer Christmas and this Tai Tapu family has it all down pat.
