EPA Hid Information Behind False Identities | Media Research Center

SIMON LAUDER: You've said before that carbon dioxide needs to be no higher than 350 parts per million to avoid the climate tipping point. Do you think action is happening fast enough to avoid that still?

RAJENDRA PACHAURI: Well, I did preface that remark by saying this is a personal view and I'm not saying that as chairman of the IPCC because the IPCC is not supposed to be politically prescriptive.
