More on the Climate

The Houston Chronicle quotes Kevin Vranes, a climate scientist at the University of Colorado: “A few climate scientists are beginning to question whether some dire [global warming] predictions push the science too far.

Vranes said, “…detected ‘tension’ among scientists, notably because projections of the future climate carry uncertainties — a point that hasn’t been fully communicated to the public”.
