The researchers found that the extreme scenarios and temperature increase predictions were based on outdated data from 15 years ago, that didn't take into account recent efforts to reduce emissions, and a move to renewable energy.

They said that temperatures are likely to rise by no more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100, and the 3.6F goal 'is still within reach' if emission reduction continues.

Translation: our propaganda isn't plausible. Even though we have not reduced carbon dioxide in the atmosphere one bit, trying to do so is what made things "better".

If you spin it any harder, it will break!

The message is likely broken already!

Emissions reduction in the US does nothing in the context of rampant and expanding use of fossil fuels in the developing world. QED.
