More from Joe Romm

From this post:

The wheels may be falling off the media’s climate discussion, if a new L.A.Times piece is any evidence.
...
At 800 to 1000 ppm, the world faces faces multiple catastrophes, including:

1. Sea level rise of 80 feet to 250 feet at a rate of 6 inches a decade (or more).

Note also his comment here:

I try very hard to be non-partisan. Some Republicans deserve praise and get it on this blog. Some Democrats deserve criticism and get it.

Now, nonpartisan doesn’t mean I’m not pro-progressive and anti-conservative — although I must confess that I don’t see how the refusal to conserve our resources and the refusal to conserve our livable climate and the complete disregard for the health and well-being of our children and indeed all future generations really deserves the label “conservative.” That strikes me as an agenda of radical change for the worse being imposed on billions of people not yet even born.

I actually think my views are quite conservative. I would actually call them pro-life if the term had not been co-opted for other purposes.

Note also Romm's remarkable paragraph here:

UPDATE: I knew I would forget something. I think “delayer” works as a stand-alone, and I’d recommend that to most people. But I will still probably use “delayer-1000.” Yes, it is “jargony” but over the next decade many if not most Americans will learn all about 280 ppm, 350 ppm, 450 ppm, and 1000 ppm. That’s because CO2 ppm will become the single most important number in the lives of every human being on this planet and their children and so on. One reason I proposed the more unwieldy “delayer-1000″ is that we need to accelerate the learning process as much as possible. I am aware of the virtual impossibility of changing widely-used jargon — almost everybody in the EV community hates “plug-in hybrid” but we just couldn’t get all the key players on board to use another term. So this post is, realistically, mostly a media critique to try to get them to stop using “skeptic” and an explanation I can link to for the terminology I’m going to use.
