The Best Climate Science Quote Ever ... and maybe the longest sentence ever

“Future generations 
will wonder, 
in bemused 
amazement, 
that the early 
twenty-first century’s 
developed world, 
went into a 
hysterical panic, 
over a 
globally averaged 
temperature increase, 
of a few tenths 
of a degree, 
and, on the basis of 
gross exaggerations, 
of highly uncertain 
computer projections, 
combined into 
implausible chains 
of inference, 
proceeded to 
contemplate 
a roll-back 
of the industrial age.”

and former lead author, U.N. Intergovernmental 
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
