J. is worried about the public-relations aspect of a recent Climate Change report

Looks like the IPCC botched the section on sea-level change in the Summary for Policy Makers from their latest report. It plays right into the hands of the "I told you that global warming was a load of crap" crowd.

They should have presented a graph showing "comparable estimates", instead of burying that information in the text.

I'm not worried about it, though. Minor botches are tolerable in front of the global-skeptic crowd. Hell, they know so little anyway. It's the paralysis they impose on policymakers that's the big problem, not this niggling over details.
