Go back and compare some of the earlier IPCC reports and see which bits have been left out. The worst case scenarios keep getting removed, and the best case scenarios are based on projections of CO2 emissions which are highly unrealistic.
Official reports have been downplaying the impact for decades, while countries have been setting climate targets that they had no intention of achieving.
- timr 2mo agoArguing that the IPCC report is "downplaying the impact" because of corruption -- which is what you seem to be doing, without evidence -- is an implausible assertion. The far more likely conclusion is that you're wrong.
- js8 2mo agoThey are not saying what the cause of the "downplay" is. It might be as simple as when scientists speaks publicly and present a consensus, they will stay on the safe side and give conservative estimates.
- timr 2mo agoAgain, the parsimonious conclusion is that you are exaggerating, and wrong.
