We’re all gonna die even faster than we thought:

The pace of global warming is likely to be much faster than recent predictions, because industrial greenhouse gas emissions have increased more quickly than expected and higher temperatures are triggering self-reinforcing feedback mechanisms in global ecosystems, scientists said Saturday.

“We are basically looking now at a future climate that’s beyond anything we’ve considered seriously in climate model simulations,” Christopher Field, founding director of the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University, said at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

This increase in doom-mongering and hysteria wouldn’t have anything to do with the public’s decreasing receptiveness to massive environmental regulation of the economy following the economic downturn, now would it?

It’s also worth pointing how how misleading the WaPo headline is.  The headlines states, “Scientists: Pace of Climate Change Exceeds Estimates.” This is deliberately misleading. No one actually measured “climate change” and found that it “exceeds estimates.” All they did was change the data input, which does nothing to address the faults in their models.
