This post has been taken down at the request of Mr. Aaron Vandiver, who has communicated to us that there are several unsubstantiated statements about him in the article. In particular, he wants it made known that he has no association with any representatives of the fossil fuel industry and has never received any money from them in relation to any of his work or publications. The co-editors at Resilience.org apologise for any distress that may have arisen from the publication of this article and have thus retracted its publication.
