I think that Dr. Ferguson of Imperial University has dialed back his forecasts by a factor of 20 to 25 times. In other words he is backing away from his original forecasts like a crab moving away from a predator. He is admitting that his original forecasts were more than 20 times too high, while attempting to make it look as if he didn’t screw up.
People neglect the part of that quote where it states if we do nothing.
We are doing a shit-ton more than nothing.
