"While climate skeptics and deniers often accuse scientists of exaggerating the
threats associated with the climate crisis, the available evidence suggests the
opposite. By and large, scientists have either been right in their assessments,
or have been unduly conservative. We noticed a clear pattern of underestimation
of certain key climate indicators, and therefore underestimation of the threat
of climate disruption. When new observations of the climate system have
provided more or better data, or permitted us to re-evaluate earlier
conclusions, the findings for ice extent, sea level rise and ocean temperature
have generally been worse than previously thought."
