Greenhouse Gases Worse Than Worst Prediction

November 7, 2011 | ISSUE 47•44

Global greenhouse gas emissions saw their biggest single-year jump ever between 2009 and 2010, exceeding worst-case scenario projections with an increase of 564 million tons. What do you think?

If only scientists had made more pessimistic predictions, then this would be good news.

Oh, man, since everyone was wrong, then the pot for the next round of greenhouse predictions is going to be huge!

Well, hopefully that will light a fire under science’s ass to step up the development of human gills.
