The dangers we can be 95% certain of should be plenty scary, and plenty of sober scientists are speaking up about them. The real problem is that 95% isn't certain enough for people who won't accept reality when it's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eid8vK0s7sY" rel="nofollow">swirling about their knees</a>.Mal Adaptedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123525780458234978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-21651977329438915362014-04-01T12:54:26.956-04:002014-04-01T12:54:26.956-04:00And the YouTube version of the VEVO version . . .

How long did it take the folks at RealClimate to admit that the 2007 Arctic Sea Ice Melt Event was real. In 2009, they were still saying that it was just natural variability and that the sea ice would refreeze - soon. They reported climate model runs that showed the sea ice would refreeze real soon. <br /><br />In 2009,the folks at RC still considered me an "alarmist" for thinking/saying that we had crossed a tipping point and sea ice was going.<br /><br />Such reticent science still dominates IPCC reports. Such reticent science understates the most likely impacts and effects, and causes risk managers and policy makers to underestimate risks and fail to act appropriately. <br /><br />Reticent science says, "these are the leopards that we can clearly see with a 95% certainty". If we are to survive, we need to beware of the leopards that are only a movement in the grass and which have not been seen with 95% certainty.
