(10,745 posts)You had me up until Jamail started quoting from none other than every doomer's climate fearmongerer extraordinaire, Guy McPherson(you've also got Dave Wasdell, who only adds to the nuttiness). And that's where you lost me. And then there's these forecasts from supposedly "conservative" organizations.....that are hardly conservative at all(except the first three, the last two of which are arguably more plausible than any of the others, even the IPCC from '07, the *only* cited report that was conservative at all.).
And honestly, the fact that he's now working for Al-Jazeera's branch in Qatar, perhaps one of the most fouled up of all the Gulf Petrostates(and a state whose leaders would undoubtedly benefit, in the short term, at least, from sabotaging of efforts to fight climate change).....doesn't that make you want to do a double-take?
