Kiwi scientists hold their own at the IPCC

by frog

Congratulations to the scientists representing New Zealand at last week’s IPCC conference for not getting all political and sticking to the science. Even on the topic of methane emissions, where NZ is most vulnerable, the Kiwis held their ground and stuck to the numbers. In several areas they helped prevent attempts by some of the big polluters to water down the language or pretend that none of the effects of human induced climate change will happen until after 2100. Click here for all the IPCC Fourth Assessment Reports.

Now, if we could just convince the few remaining politicians and businesspeople around here to to pull their heads from the sand and acknowledge the science, we might be able to get on with the serious work of remaking our corner of the world into a sustainable and just community.
