Times UK: "We were wrong — worst effects of climate change can be avoided, say experts"

OK that is paywalled so let's turn to the Independent:

"Global warming may be occurring more slowly than previously thought, study suggests"


Quote:
At the Paris climate summit in 2015, Professor Grubb said: “All the evidence from the past 15 years leads me to conclude that actually delivering 1.5C is simply incompatible with democracy.”

But speaking to The Times he said: “When the facts change, I change my mind, as [John Maynard] Keynes said."
I picked this thread for these links because this thread is where I disrespected the IPCC, before the Paris conference... the same IPCC that Grubb now disrespects.

~ I believe that "warmism" is turning into the correct position: mankind has added to the heat, but not as much as they say, and it's not as devastating as people think ~

Warning, I'm not that smart. I only have been following the science semi-casually, and making educated guesses.

But I do know, there is NO scientific consensus on the end of the world. And it's extremely hard to predict the future. Please consider that as you read the media.
