Pushback in 5…4…3…2…

Actually, the pushback started days ago when parts of the report were leaked.

It comes in the form of selectively pulling out the heavily qualified sections of the report, and saying that they vindicate “skepticism.”

I think it is a good thing that the language is qualified as it is in this report. Some climate scientists would say that it underrepresents the danger, and I get that; but with qualified statements such as contained in this report, it becomes easier to separate out the relatively few non-fake “skeptics” from the deniers. To win sufficient political will to enact policies for climate change mitigation, we need to clear the smokescreen that politically motivated deniers use to obscure their ideological agenda.
