Without the exaggerated alarm conjured from overly
pessimistic climate model projections of climate change from carbon dioxide emissions, fossil fuels — coal, oil, gas — would regain their image as the celebrated agents of prosperity that they are, rather than being labeled as pernicious agents of our destruction.
Mr. Romm does not use any of the emissions scenarios that are the starting point for IPCC
climate projections, but instead has developed a forecast for carbon emissions (which are «rising faster than the most
pessimistic economic
model considered by the IPCC»).
