Produktbeschreibung
"The science of climate change is still inherently uncertain, but it seems safe to say that in recent decades, the news almost always seems to be worse than what climate scientists previously believed likely. Despite being villainized by Republican politicians as being "alarmist," (and being threatened with bodily harm) climate scientists seem to be erring consistently on the side of not being alarmist enough.
