My recent Twitter debate with John Stauber, co-author
of the «Trust Us, We're Experts» book,
reminded me
of a particularly embarrassing embellishment error that pops up elsewhere among
efforts to portray experts on man - caused
global warming as authoritarians above reproach.
This may have helped
remind developed countries that, as part
of their fair share
of the
global mitigation
effort, they need to support (through finance, technology and capacity building) ambitious mitigation actions by developing countries.
