Moderating in temperatures is not going to prevent the extreme in events. The extreme events science speaks about are storms, flooding, fires, etc., things predicated on by change in climate. Do you think tornadoes have become more or less an issue in Alberta? Do you think forest fires are become more or less a larger problem? Do you think flooding is become more or less a larger problem? All of these have been predicted and have been proven to be accurate, no? And it just isn't in Alberta. Look at what is happening in DC right now. That is an extreme event and consistent with forecasts. I don't think this is fearmongering, it is recognizing what happens as balance in the system is disrupted.
