Which is why you've got deniers falling back on things like Climategate or using typical winter cold to say that climate change is a {air quote} "myth" {/air quote} (even though there is plausible evidence out there suggesting that BOTH heat and cold extremes could continue to become more and more common as time wears on), or those on the opposite extreme who claim that the IPCC is being "too conservative" and "too optimistic" with "everything&quot when in reality, while it is true that the IPCC has fallen a little on the optimistic side in terms of Arctic ice melt and a small number of other issues, they have been remarkably accurate on pretty much everything else, especially temperature rise.).
