Yes, Professor Tyndall Climate Centre deputy director Kevin Anderson’s insider observations on the rosy spin being arm-twisted onto scientists public pronouncements needs to get much more attention. The bar is raised damn high for us to try to halt climate change. Pom-Poms for solar and wind are not near enough. Think Bob Beamon jumping 60′ and not 29′. Try doing the usual squats in order to beat that. Squat, is what we’re getting on clear, unspun, honest information from the usual sources. That includes most of the policy people who are on the good side of this drama.
Interviewer: “We’ve lit the fuse on a bomb. Do you consider this a crisis? Because MOST people would prefer that the bomb go off before the word ‘crisis’ is attached to this event.”
Jason Box: “Uhhh…. I don’t think that’s how it works…”

Reblogged this on A Green Road Daily News.
