Major Climate Report Describes a Strong Risk of Crisis as Early as 2040

New York Times, Oct 2018, Posted by Wayne Morgenthaler

This article, on the release of the IPCC report is basically bad beltway journalism full policy insider quotes, misinformation and dangerous framing. It even contains quotes from coal executives.

The report “is quite a shock, and quite concerning,” said Bill Hare, an author of previous I.P.C.C. reports and a physicist with Climate Analytics, a nonprofit organization. “We were not aware of this just a few years ago.”

Mr. Hare must have had his eye closed as we have known were this goes for 30 years and we did not just find out. Even the Time has shown this in Losing Earth.

Shell’s vision of a zero carbon world by 2070, explained

From Vox, March 13, 2018, Posted by Wayne Morgenthaler

Shell Oil is dead serious but dead wrong and yet they say “trust us, we are the experts”. I include this here simply as a counter example of the work of fossil fuel vested interest's on climate change -- Shell and others are at the table as a valid stake holder positions in most government agencies including the IPCC and hence influences consensus in those processes and their findings.  Thus the consensus is clearly not unbiased.
