That said,what some of the climatologists are observing is advancing so quickly,and geometrically,that they warn that we don't have the luxury to wait until we have 'certainty.' We'll be beyond the tipping points,and the disruption irreversible.
The IPCC has all the worse-case-scenarios in hand,but they can't factually say anything about them.
