“The global sea level looks set to rise far higher than forecast...”

But is not this statement itself the forecast? And if so, then we have recursion and we’ll all drown momentarily.

But I’m not holding my breath.

That's right. The PAST forecast is bad.

It's this CURRENT forecast we all have to believe.

It reminds me of a trial scene on a court drama TV show, you know, when someone on the stand wants to change their story claims they were lying when they first testified and the lawyer asks:

So you admit you're a liar but THIS time you say you're not lying. Do we have that right?
