Last week, the AP put out an article (which was picked up by many major news outlets) parroting data given to them by the UN about worldwide CO2 emissions data – for 2007.

In my note for the National Review Institute’s Media Malpractice project, I show that the AP reporter, with just a little bit of work, could have found 2008 data which shows something very different.

Please read my short note on the subject at:
