"...lost among the hype is the unexciting fact that this report is actually no more dire than the IPCC's last report, issued in 2001. In two important ways, this year's effort was actually less dire."
I can't believe your arrogance in downplaying this report - we've done very little since 2001, so in my opinion, that certainly makes this report more dire that the last. So lets get real, stop the blame-game, get off soap boxes and other irrelevant high-ground and start contributing to the solution!
