...Microsoft's head against a brick wall repeatedly and remind it of the existence of the rule of law. He took on the role, and the official branding of bias that comes with it.

But what this report is saying is that despite uncertainties on a variety of questions, there's enough certainties to draw certain basic conclusions, one of them being that the planet's temperatures are rising as a result of human activity...
