Arctic ice melt(and a select few other things) aside, mostly, it seems, it turns out that quite a few projections have actually been a little too pessimistic, and not the other way around; this is especially true with climate sensitivity but there's been others as well.

Of course, you won't hear that from the right-leaning mainstream media, whose job isn't so much to inform, as it is to sell headlines, and grab as much profit as possible. To be truthful, fear sells, no matter how much based on actual facts it may be.

And to be frank, as I've said before, I'd take the word of a scientist with 40 years' experience in her line of work, than some attention-seeking fearmonger on a blog, no matter how well-meaning the latter may be.
