Chokes on a cricket leg

A comparison of past IPCC predictions against 22 years of weather data and the latest climate science find that the IPCC has consistently underplayed the intensity of global warming in each of its four major reports released since 1990.The drastic decline of summer Arctic sea ice is one recent example: In the 2007 report, the IPCC concluded the Arctic would not lose its summer ice before 2070 at the earliest. But the ice pack has shrunk far faster than any scenario scientists felt policymakers should consider; now researchers say the region could see ice-free summers within 20 years.

Sea-level rise is another. In its 2001 report, the IPCC predicted an annual sea-level rise of less than 2 millimeters per year. But from 1993 through 2006, the oceans actually rose 3.3 millimeters per year, more than 50 percent above that projection.

Imagine using science from 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago and saying it's the same as science now.

If you said that for anything else, you'd feel like a moron. But when it comes to climate, your tribal reflexes kick in.

You are incredibly dumb, aren't you?

Why is it everyone who uses the word 'folks' in articles and online posts is basically wrong about whatever it is they're talking about.
