[edit] Key Quotes

In its 1997 report, ICEE wanted students to be told that trying to reduce greenhouse gases by agreement was futile, because:
" [A]ny efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the industrialized countries will be overtaken in the next few decades by greenhouse gas emissions arising from rapidly industrializing nations, especially in Southeast Asia."

Also in its 1997 report, the Commission reflects its ExxonMobil funding in its repeated insistence that fossil fuels are still the best and cheapest source of energy, and that they are far from depleted:
"The known resources for the production of fossil fuels (including oil, natural gas, coal, tar sands, oil shale) are so vast that depletion must be measured in terms of centuries and not decades."

Again in its 1997 report, and astonishingly unaware of the effects of commercial logging in Borneo, Saba and Sarawak and now even in Guyana and Brazil (all by the same group of Malaysian logging companies, including Samling Timber (which owns/operates as "Barama" in Guyana), the Committee states, for inclusion in students' textbooks which currently somehow did not assert this, that:
"Unlike much of the commercial logging in the temperate forest, tropical commercial logging almost never involves the clear-cutting of the forest. The usual approach to tropical logging is to select only the few trees that are desired by commercial markets, thereby leaving large numbers of live trees in the forest after the harvest."
