    That’s the thing - if science is projecting something for the future nothing is 100% certain - so they have to widen the range in order to have a statement with a lower number that’s “90% certain” even if there’s a very high chance that it’s going to be way worse

      Absolutely, but if you ask climate scientists, in private, what they think the numbers are saying, they will tell you a very different story.

        I would guess we’ve been fucked for at least a couple of decades by now. In their need to “reach a consensus” we have been sold an unrealistic narrative of hope lol

          Yes, well phrased. All though I think there was hope. There is always hope, but none of the deciders care or have cared.
