Bill McKibben: Beyond Keystone

If you burned all the tar sands we know about now, you'd raise the planet's temperature more than half a degree — i.e., half again as much as the global warming we've already seen, which has been enough to make the seas 30% more acid and cut Arctic sea ice 40%. But if you burned all the coal we know about it, the temperature would go up 15 degrees.

If this:
"the seas 30% more acid and cut Arctic sea ice 40%"
is his evidence, than he's a liar who should never be offered an "expert" platform.
But Gore says it's okay to lie in support of his personal causes.

McKibben is still slinging the same mindless hash he was throwing around five years ago.
