Pajama’s Media: Global warming accelerating once again

You got to accelerate the positive
Decelerate the negative
Larch on to the affirmative
And don’t fail to Hide the Decline.

Maybe Ban Ki-moon has come to realize the decline is real and a change in direction requires acceleration? Of course, a decline could mean that current policies are working and is excited by the belief that much more of the same would be better.

OTOH, “worse than we thought” might mean: temps have been going down and it’s going to make convincing harder so the global warming case has accelerated before it’s too late.

I saw the Blitzer/Friedman thing. My take is Blitzer ate the whole thing.

Don Briggs?

Frankly, I preferred Emperor Briggs.

Or to put it more succinctly, as an aged professor said to me many years ago over something else but not unlike except in scale: ‘Their fond hope is that over the entire series the positive errors will cancel out the negative ones leaving a true value. Some hope!’
