  1. Your story made it to the news section at Care2 - where I put in my two cents worth.

    Make that alleged scientific reports. There is nothing scientific about using modeling sims as if they were data from the future. You would have to know they provided accurate and useful information to worry about them at all - something I sarcastically suggest you check with a crystal ball and scrying. Plugging alarmism about co2 emissions is not environmental stewardship any more than celebrating Hallow'een is practicing Witchcraft. The practice of decrying Denierism is a frame saying people will not accept responsible reporting - when in fact they insist on it. Here is a sample of activism posing as science http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/10/inquiring-minds-kahan-lewandowsky-communicate-climate Here is an environmental stewardship group's alternative analysis http://ethos-uk.com/downloads/books/chill/CHILLAppendices.pdf
