Wouldn’t a better tittle for this talk have been, “Inconvenient Global Warming Speculations?”

At 3:35 he says "We haven't been very effective at communicating it". That is the 1st time I heard a Climate Scientist say why they have been such utter failures at communicating this problem. I could start listing the many ways such as downplaying how severe the problem is, putting off the problem to the distant future ie sea level rises in 100 years, even using centigrade instead of Fahrenheit to tell the story in the use, sorry but to the average US person a .08 degree just doesn't sound like a lot to worry about. Yes climate Scientists are piss poor communicators.
