Nature Conservancy is on CBS network tv news with their top 'scientist' selling death and disaster via imaginary catastrophic man-caused record high global temperatures. The scientist's mantra even invoked insurance companies.
6/1/12, "CBS News hires (Nature Conservancy's) M. Sanjayan," Columbia Journalism Review, C. Brainard
"The second was a two-minute, no-nonsense report on climate change for CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley, in which Sanjayan told viewers flat out that they’d all experienced its effects “firsthand” in the form of record high temperatures. It’s a problem felt “right here, right now, in our own backyards,” he said, citing the impact of heat waves on ranchers and the elderly
and the steps that insurance companies are taking to hedge against the risks of climate-related disasters."

Perhaps Nature Conservancy's scientist hasn't heard that CO2 is no longer considered the biggest and most immediate problem:
5/21/12, "G8: Leaders open up vital new front in the battle to control global warming," UK Telegraph, Geoffrey Lean
"It seems to have gone virtually unnoticed, but the world leaders at the weekend's G8 summit look as if they have taken the biggest step in years in tackling climate change. And it's quite apart from anything to do with carbon dioxide. The summit's final communiqué, the Camp David Declaration, supports “comprehensive actions” to reduce “short-lived climate pollutants”. These substances – including black carbon (soot), methane, ground-level ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons – are responsible for about half of global warming. Straightforward measures to address them, a report by the United Nations Environment Programme concluded last year, would delay dangerous climate change by more than three decades....

"What impact has that had on temperature over the last decade?
Spiegel online tells us:
"The data, however, have not shown any warming for 13 years.
At the same time the question of whether the CO2 increase will warm the climate is still always disputed. The strength of the warming depends mostly on how much water evaporates; water vapour enhances the greenhouse effect considerably more than CO2. Estimates on the water vapour effect diverge greatly. Thousands of scientists are working on that question."" via Tom Nelson
