After Joe Romm was caught out putting words in a scientist's mouth in the form of a quote manufactured to support one of his political vendettas, Romm justifies his behavior by explaining:

[Deliver us from CO2?]: Barack Obama must attend climate change talks to avoid 'catastrophe' for the planet - Telegraph
Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister, has warned of 'catastrophe' for the planet unless President Barack Obama and other world leaders ensure a deal on climate change in Copenhagen at the end of the year.
...
Addressing the Major Economies Forum in London, Mr Brown said the consequences of uncontrollable temperature rise would be greater than the impact of the two world wars and the Great Depression. He said the effects of climate change is already killing 300,000 people every year and the impact of floods and droughts will get worse. But it will not just be poor nations that suffer, he warned that thousands of people in Britain could be killed by regular heatwaves in the summer.
