      Important point from @davidfrum. Models are fallible, as lockdown skeptics keep pointing out, but trendline so far suggests that our models are as likely underproject deaths as the reverse:https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1245466690424573954 …

      Many of us are paying careful attention to the @IHME_UW Covid 19 projections. One thing to be mindful of: Those projections are changing day by day. Here for example is March 30; followed by today. In 48 hours, the expected US death toll by August 4 rose by more than 11,500 pic.twitter.com/szUV0NkRwA

      Same logic applies to climate. Our models will change as we get more data but it is just as likely that the current models are too cautious as they are too dire.

          If we can't convince people to do something about a threat that is staring them in face and weeks away from hitting, I have a hard time believing we are gonna make much progress on the climate change front.

          Swear I saw a report saying climate models this year were forecasting much worse out comes. It probably got swallowed in all the pandemic news.

          There is also the bias to undersell to avoid ridicule. I’m taking the over.
