Damit bestätigt der Macher des Klima-Horrorszenarios ausgerechnet das, was viele Kritiker dem Papier schon immer vorwarfen. Es handelte sich bei RCP8.5 keinesfalls um eine Prognose, sondern um ein unwahrscheinliches Extremmodell, welches fälschlicherweise von Medien und Politik als willkommenes Klima-Katastrophenszenario verwendet wurde. https://t.co/9OQ7YqYkyM #Klima #Umweltschutz #RCP85

The infamous “RCP 8.5”, in particular, envisioned a century-long global coal orgy that was never remotely plausible https://t.co/c6JuDuMQbk #ClimateScience #RCP85 #ClimateChange #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
