|
says, over and over, time is short, things are progressing faster than our models predicted, etc, etc.
Either they are incompetent at updating the models (and I used to work with the people that created the climate models, and they are very competent) OR things are accelerating in ways that aren't modeled OR there is some really bad news in the models but no one wants to step out and say what the bad news is... they'd rather it be released bit by bit so it won't be dismissed as "outlandish".
I'm voting for reason number three.
