For the past 20 to 30 years, the climate science community has been consistently nothing but EXTREMELY conservative in all their predictions in order to not being labeled as alarmist. Newsflash: they were STILL labeled alarmist AND also ignored because whatever happens in 50 years is Someone Else's Problem, can't be bothered to think beyond the next quartal or election cycle. Look! A shiny new thing! Consume! Consume! Now it's becoming clear that almost everything is happening way faster than the conservative models estimated. Humanity just. can't. win. against itself.
