News Sources Ignore EPA's 1 in 100 Odds of Livable Future Without the American Power Act: Scientific American
The EPA found there is only a 1% chance of avoiding the increasing incidence of climate-caused catastrophes like floods, droughts and sea level rise without passage of this year’s American Power Act (APA) to place a cap on carbon emissions and lower it each year.

I know it's happening but when I'm still wearing sweaters and wool slippers in mid-June, it's easy to let thoughts about a warming planet subside a bit and secretly indulge in fantasies that all those scientists are somehow wrong

The EPA and Scientific American are rapidly shreading any remnant of credibility they might have ever had. Simulation = reality = policy. Advocacy science by press release is doing nothing to advance their agenda, let alone understanding of the natural world. However, stories like these are very effective at firming up the resolve of the skeptic opposition.
