  1. “Obviously, the high estimates are even scarier.”

  2. We are thus left wondering whether it is a matter of pure professional judgment — or whether they have been cowed by the attacks of recent years.

    In other words, the NYT speculates that the IPCC is a political organization that may not accurately represent the science because of political pressure. Funny that.

Not even a mention that all this climate variability is natural and predictable by the motion of the planets and activity of the sun. The socialist, communist we know better tone echos through the entire piece. But what else would you expect from the “progressive” Times. .
