>No idea since I can't read German, but that looks like a news site not a scientific site to me. It is one of the largest German magazines, which certainly has the ambition and ability to shape public perception of issues. What they are saying matters more than any scientific journal. >I'm talking about things written by scientists, not reporters or talking heads. Then you just ignored my post. I was talking about how science is communicated, I was explicitly saying that how scientist talk about this issue and how journalists talk about it are different. It is journalists who shape how an issue is perceived, not scientists. My point was, again, that the uncertainty scientists have in their models is not adequately reported. >I do think it's telling that you felt the need to reach for things written in a foreign language to try to make your point on an English language discussion site It is not a foreign language to me. I brought it up because it is what I am seeing. This is not far right propaganda, it is how the main stream center left is covering the issue of climate change in Germany.

Clearly it isn't a foreign language to you, but it's a remarkably self centered act to decide that therefore it's appropriate to use as a part of a discussion on a site that is exclusively in a different language. In other words: bIvalqu'be'. 'ach pIch SoHbe'.

  If you do not want to talk about this issue then don't. I brought it up because you claimed it was only something the far right claimed. Demanding that someone from another country has to be able to point to a media environment he has no interaction with just so that he can talk about an issue seems incredibly close minded and petty. We both know how to use a translator for a website, this isn't some unreasonable obstacles I am asking you to overcome. Am I just now allowed to share my perspective on anything, because the only sources I can point to on this specific topic are in my native language? How idiotic is that.

You may shout whatever noises you like into the void. If you would like positive responses, then the noises you make should be tailored to the audience. Being in a language the recipient understands is the bare minimum.
