If you are a scientist, especially one who deals with statistics, and you don't utter the word "uncertainty" on a daily basis then you don't deserve to be a scientist.
Using that as a criticism, especially given the word has very technical meanings in terms of distributions and fits, is silly.

But it is a crisis for climate-policy advocates who based their arguments on the authority of scientific consensus."
