Wrong Way Fast

The White House likes to boast that it is on target to reduce greenhouse gas intensity by 18 percent by 2012. Yeah, whatever. The real issue is total emissions, not intensity, and a new report from the US Public Interest Research Group makes clear that actual emissions have increased by 18 percent over 1990 levels.

Here's the report (pdf).

Even the February 2007 IPCC report downplays the inexorable and deadly severity of global warming.

See April 2007 Scientific American article Conservative Climate.

Industry and consumers must work together to stop polluting with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases today.

Downplaying what is at stake does not facilitate effective action, quite the opposite.
