Climate Media vs. Climate Science – WSJ

Joe Biden has put a presidential imprimatur on climate change being an existential threat, and he doesn t mean in the Jean-Paul Sartre sense of man s search for meaning in an uncomforting universe.

He means the end of humanity, a claim nowhere found in climate science.

This is odd because the real news today is elsewhere. Its movement may be ocean-liner-like, the news may be five years old before the New York Times notices it, but the climate community has been backing away from a worst-case scenario peddled to the public for years as business as usual.

A drumroll moment was Zeke Hausfather and Glen Peter s 2020 article in the journal Nature partly headlined: Stop using the worst-case scenario for climate warming as the most likely outcome.
