"“The assertions attributed to them, that “up to 40% of the Amazonian
forests could react drastically to even a slight reduction in
precipitation” is nowhere to be found in their report. … Nor elsewhere
can we find any other reference to 40 percent of the Amazon being
affected by even slight reductions in precipitation.”Yet the fourteenth
page of WWF’s report had stated exactly that. “Up to 40% of the
Brazilian forest is extremely sensitive to small reductions in the
amount of rainfall”, the report noted"
I wonder if it would do any good to expose this blatant lie in order to
discredit the deniers?
Or should we just ignore them, as Steve Hounsham, formerly of Transport
2000, who now runs his own green PR agency, recommends?
