Hiding the Pea, Revisited: Remove the Scenario, Keep the Result
At this point, a reminder is useful: the issue is not what the authors claim, but what the results depend on.
Why is the Met Office adopting the language of climate alarmism?
The Met Office exists to forecast the weather. But increasingly it seems bored by the day job so it likes to lecture us about climate change. And here it seems…
