It's just 3 degrees! /S

Yeah, remember when you were in high school and you had the near the end of the year grades? How hard is it to move that GPA 3 points after a tests, quizzes, n exams? You can get get 5x 100s in a row and it'll be .02 higher. If you have a large dataset, say over hundreds of years with thousands of data points, you need wild high numbers off the average to move it by 3.

Scientists really fucked up describing that key phenomenon to the public at large.

Scientists didn't mess up as much as the active disinformation campaign from fossil fuel companies succeeded.
