"They have managed (quite successfully) to cast doubt over specific and
detailed forecasts to suggest that the risk either does not exist, or
can be safely ignored -  as though people should decide not to insure
their house or car because the insurer couldn’t tell them when the goods
were likely to be stolen or damaged."

A good summary of a key issue in the new IPCC report.
