   #ClimateDiary When will media stop asking this question and using phrases like “scientists believe”, or “according to scientists”? We don’t go through this whole stupid thing when, I don’t know, someone dies of cancer. Is this real? Is it really cancer? Doctors believe it was!

   Bracing myself for long answers of why there is indeed still more doubt about climate change than about cancer, but just wanted to voice this. It really annoys me.
