Sparks: Why have countries been pushing for a vital global climate report to be delayed?

The report that names the warming is delayed, and the warming does not read the report - the softest thing in the world passes the hardest without being asked.

The oil beneath the sand, the coal beneath the taiga, and the veto in the conference hall are one connected system, and the report's delay is the isotherm that binds them.

What we call a 'delay' is a hypothesis that the science will change if the publication is postponed, and the consilience test asks what else that hypothesis predicts - the answer is the coal, the oil, and the veto itself.

There is a fence across the road to the report, and the men removing it have not explained why it was built - which is precisely the explanation they cannot give, since the fence was built to keep the truth in.

Forget the speeches about scientific integrity - the states delaying the report have the leverage to delay it, and the states demanding it have the leverage only to be heard, which is the effectual truth of the Addis suspension.
