"President of the Environment" Ignores Earth Hour

NC Media Watch: Pacific Institute truncates sea level rise data. Why?
I was reading the Pacific Institute report when I came across this graphic on page six of the report and wondered why the data plot stopped at 2000. It was a 2008 report.
...
As you can see the sea level rise leveled off and then started to drop about 1200 months, which is the year 2000. I am wondering why this Pacific Institute report did not note this emerging trend. Yes, I know it ran contrary to the reports theme, "sea levels are expected to continue to rise, and the rate of increase will likely accelerate," and we are all doomed. As taxpayers are funding these reports, I think we should be given all the data, it should not be truncated to fit a political agenda. Sea level rise has stopped.
Out of 6.7 billion currently living people, how many fear Diet Coke bubbles more than Joe Romm does?
Averting catastrophic global warming requires completely overturning the status quo, changing every aspect of how we use energy — and doing so in under four decades (see “The full global warming solution“). Failure to do so means humanity’s self-destruction, Hell and High Water.

...keeping the auctions much less than “highly transparent” is a calculated decision to keep the funds raised as high as possible.
