Most, unfortunately, the recent article in
the link above does not say a single word about what Ian Dunlop and David Spratt have found: “IPCC reports tend toward reticence and caution, erring on the side of
“least drama”, and downplaying the more extreme and more damaging outcomes.”
Spratt, D. and Dunlop, I., 2018. What
lies beneath: the understatement of existential climate risk. Published by

Its obvious that IPCC
are facing pressure from Governments to avoid releasing projections that may
induce panic because panic is bad for business but since the duty of academia is not to political agendas but
only to the truth https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-responsibility-of-intellectuals-to.html its understandable why just
one month ago a Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford authored a paper where one can read the following:
“Let’s get this on the table right away, without mincing
words. With regard to the climate crisis, yes, it’s time to panic”

Plan B for dealing with the climate crisis. Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, pp.1-7.
