This is the problem with policy action on climate change.
Climate scientist Judith Curry testified before the US House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space and Technology just last month and said that the USA's ambitious goal to cut CO2 emissions by 28% by 2025 would only cool the planet by 0.03 degrees Celsius by 2100; and that if they reduce their emissions by 80% by 2050 it will only cool the planet by 0.1 degrees Celsius by 2100. The numbers she quoted are from here (well the first one is anyway).

The comment she makes on cholesterol is 100% correct. There used to be a consensus that it was bad; it is in fact one of the most vital chemicals in the human body and is found in all of our living cells.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
