oh, i see, "reports" good, "studies" bad ... there's a difference?

may one suggest that since the scientific evidence on climate change is
fully developed and prescriptive, that KR is trying to take a big
lungful of air before he has to confront big business on carbon emission
reduction, which will no doubt be a painful process for all parties
concerned.
