[Sustain] Interview: Why IPCC Warming Reports Are Too Optimistic

[Jeanne]

I presume you have read the post by Gelbspan, which says about what you 
are saying.  Don't you think that pushing this extremely depressing 
point of view makes people want to give up?  I would prefer to go with 
the IPCC recommendations - which we will probably not reach anyway - 
rather than argue about how hopeless it is.

Here's the link to the Gelbspan, if anyone has missed it.
