Seems to me that predicting a 20ft rise in sea levels is a pretty effective scare tactic
But how credible is this claim if it is not supported by the IPCC
and if it were credible why doesn't the IPCC have ice sheet collapse as it's 'high' scenario
The estimates from the IPCC are conservative for good reason I would imagine
The word you seek is not Ad hominem but hypocrisy
It is hypcoritical to preach about reducing one carbon footprints
Then doing nothing to reduce ones own carbon footprint
buying carbon credits in ones own company is ethically nothing more than sleight of hand
It creates the impression that wealthy people can just buy themselves a green conscious
Like I said earlier I didn't post because I had doubts
I posted because I wanted to see what the response was going to be
