This piece really nails it. An excerpt wont do it justice
We've also had in the past few years heat anomalies in the ocean he didnt mention that scientists still havent explained, that surpassed the models

(4,294 posts)"Blaming the scientists for not telling people how BAD it would really be" is the sort of thing I expect the wingnuts of the world to eventually pivot to, en masse, when even they can no longer pretend "it's a democrat hoax". Overnight, they'll get the order that this is the proper angle from wingnut leadership, and they'll unblinkingly adopt it. "So it's super-real, and it's REALLY the fault of the scientists for not telling us the severity decades ago!!!", completely ignoring the fact that ALL ALONG they've claimed the exact opposite. Wingnuts have a unique ability to do this sort of mental gymnastics I've noticed in my decades of dealing with them.
They also very often come around belatedly to the shit that liberals correctly told them about, that they denied for years, and then make up excuses for why they were idiots until recently. Look at MAHA, for example, harping about pesticides and herbicides en masse, after making fun of "granola girls", and "farming communes" and "organic food" and things like that for fucking decades, because it was hippy-dippy liberal nonsense back then

And calling the person a right winger or something is absurd. The IPCC has been criticized for being too conservative by distinguished climate scientists like Kevin Anderson too
