"near impossible". So not impossible, this title is saying nothing.
Climate change is something we need to address asap, but sensationalist headlines like this are not adding any credibility to the cause.
It's saying it's incredibly unlikely this would happen without anthropogenic assistance. Like, really obviously saying that. What is not helpful is this intentional obtuseness.
Yes, that a thousand times. Scientists can almost never say something is 100% one way or the other. It is always down to a few percent points of error. But unfortunately that will always bring up people like this guy.
Any scientist who is 100% certain about a hypothesis is either lying or a fanatic. Theres no such thing as absolute certainty in reality.
