The climate fact no one will admit: 2 °C warming is inevitable

10. Basically the IPCC, their emasculated scientists, the politicians and media of the world.

anyone who talks to the public. Kevin Anderson, David Wasdell and Jim Hansen don't have a lot of reach into the happs of power and communication. The man in the street is only starting to hear this message through the noise of Exxon and the Heartland Institute this year, but look at this excerpt from the story:

At a meeting in London on 28 October, New Scientist asked the chief UN climate negotiator, Christiana Figueres, if it was now time for the world to accept that limiting warming to 2 °C is unrealistic and to start preparing for even greater warming. Figueres vehemently rejected this idea.

“Would you want that for your children,” she responded. “This is about the quality of life on this planet.” The Paris treaty would “build a pathway” to 2 °C, she said, by paving the way for further cuts.

This is the woman who has the ear of the world on climate change, not angry wonks like Anderson and Wasdell. If she can't tell us the truth, we can't win the battle. And she is emotionally unable to accept the situation and say what needs to be said. The politicians mostly heave a huge sigh of relief that they have a story they can sell to their electorates, and fall into lockstep behind her.
