The UK's leading scientific body has been forced to rewrite its guide on climate change and admit that it is not known how much warmer the Earth will become.
The Royal Society has updated its guide after 43 of its members complained that the previous version failed to take into account the opinion of climate change sceptics.
Now the new guide, called 'Climate change: a summary of the science', admits that there are some 'uncertainties' regarding the science behind climate change.
And it says that it impossible to know for sure how the Earth's climate will change in the future nor what the possible effects may be.

LOL. Anyone who is surprised that there are "uncertainties" in science, doesn't know anything about science.

At least in science, the uncertainties are debated in the open with peer review, and in fact, that is the whole point. It may be a flawed system, but it's less flawed than any other system.

I seriously doubt this is a 'retreat' as the pundits are spinning it. It's probably an admission that we don't know how fast the Earth is going to warm up, because all the evidence points to a must faster warming response than science thought a few years ago.
