Hmm. I’d love to see which IPCC reports have been found to be wildly wrong if you’ve got any links. Otherwise this just kinda sounds like hearsay to me.

- ncmncm 4y agoIt is hearsay. The IPCC reports predicted a range of possible outcomes, depending on what we did. We did the things that implied the results they predicted and we got.
- TaylorAlexander 4y agoYeah. It sounds like they’ve misunderstood the worst case scenario presented in the reports as a single prediction of fact. Sigh. It is extremely discouraging that people continue to misunderstand even basic concepts around climate change.
- ncmncm 4y agoI have come to doubt that they misunderstand, but rather they choose to misrepresent. To lie. Why people want to lie about an existential threat to civilization is another matter. We know that many who do, via millions of sock puppet accounts on twitter and fb, are paid to do it, but that only defers the question to whoever is paying them. Surely the corporations paying them do not expect to benefit from worldwide collapse. But I doubt many are paid to sock-puppet HN.
