Michael Schennenberger runs the BTI, or the "Breakthrough Institute", which is against taxing carbon, against fossil fuel reduction, and pro-geoengineering. It is ultimately a think-tank, which is just another name for a professional propaganda unit, IMO.

This is an article encouraging you to calm down and sit down. It's a careful cherry-pick of data, something that the IPCC report is not, and something that is extremely common in contemporary opinion pieces.

We should not be rosy about climate change or other pollution related issues. There exists massive quantities of evidence that can be covered at hacker news, and seeing this disinformation here when we have access to actual scientific information about climate change shocks me.
