Look at It This Way

When the IPCC report first came out, there was a lot of hoopla in the corporate media about how exaggerated the predictions were.

The scientific community and the public media were complaining, however, that the predictions were too watered-down, catering to the oil lobby and their drones in Washington.

So, now, at least, we get to bark up the other side of the same tree. Will anybody listen anyway?

CO2 emissions from cars, factories, and power plants grew at an annual rate ... higher than any rate used in emissions scenarios for the reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
