I'll admit you have no clue? It seems like there are some competing groups in climate science, but so far the trend of the warming, regional precipitation, jet stream changes, ocean ph changes, methane in warming tundra, the pattern of polar ice melt all seem to have been pretty well predicted years or decades ago by the most mainstream groups (that financially motivated groups have worked hard to undercut and delegitimize).
- d--b 10y agoOk I agree, that was clearly an overstatement. I guess I am annoyed by news outlets commenting on scientific studies that are sensational.
- throwaway5752 10y agoYeah, I think there is a pronounce deficiency on accurate and appropriate communication on this topic on the part of media. The general pattern of "funded a group producing scientific-enough sounding disputing theories + some astroturf groups to loudly complain about media bias for not covering it" has devastatingly effective in my lifetime. A sad artifact of hiring for looks/presentation over intellect in many news outlets.
