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.

It does not say that it's not a problem, just it's not happening as quickly as earlier predicted. Not if, but when. He also says that gives us more time to do something about it, but do something we must.

As far as flooding the low lying islands and shores, The 91 volcanoes under the southern ice cap may be a bigger problem.
