On Saturday, brand new New York Times conservative columnist Bret Stephens penned a moderate column about climate change. In that column, he says that global warming due to man-made activity is a certainty: Anyone who has read the 2014 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change knows that, while the modest (0.85 degrees Celsius, or about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit) warming of the Northern Hemisphere since 1880 is indisputable, as is the human influence on that warming, much else that passes as accepted fact is really a matter of probabilities. That’s especially true of the sophisticated but fallible models and simulations by which scientists attempt to peer into the climate future. To say this isn’t to deny science. It’s to acknowledge it honestly.
Stephens cautions against false certainty — failing to report uncertainty in data. “We live in a world in which data convey authority,” Stephens says. “But authority has a way of descending to certitude, and certitude begets hubris.” Stephens’ language about certainty is actually designed to help climate change enthusiasts — if they keep making claims that keep being proved wrong, without any doubts baked into the cake, people will simply discount what they’re saying.
This moderate take has led a mass revolt by leftists who insist they will now cancel The New York Times. They call Stephens’ column denialism, even though Stephens acknowledges global warming has taken place. They say that it’s just wrong on a factual level. Susan Matthews of Slate called the piece “classic climate change denialism,” explaining that reasonable people could not be “skeptical about the dangers of climate change.” Erik Wemple of The Washington Post actually wrote an email to the paper complaining about the op-ed and asking for answers on Stephens’ piece — something he hasn’t done on any other New York Times op-ed he’s ever reported.

I still say it is nothing but a HOAX. Big AL GORE said in 2006 in ten years the earth will destruct, hasn't yet "WHY IT'S A BIG HOAX"
The Only one that knows is the all knowing GOD the creator of it all. It is just plane crazy to tell all this false stuff, just to make big money.
They talk about the earth being millions of years old, why hasn't it already been destroyed? Because God will destroy it in his own time, it will not be because these quacks, so called Scientists says or someone like AL GORE an arrogant know it all "NOT".
The fact of the matter this earth is around 4,000 years old, can find papers dated back to that FACT. All their fancy gadgets, certainly can be wrong.
It is all about BIG MONEY, that is the long and short of the whole HOAX.
