I was scanning headlines at cnn.com and I saw this one:

Experts slam upcoming global warming report

I got all giddy.  Was I seeing correctly?  CNN was daring to challenge the accepted mantra about global warming?  Alas, no.

I read the article, and it was not a repudiation of the upcoming IPCC report.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  It’s main complaint was that the IPCC is sugarcoating the problem when it is more dire than we dare imagine.

I wish these Republicans would quit trying to scare people with all their doom and gloom.
