It’s not really honest to equate “may be” with “will be”.
A scientist might make a perfectly honest and accurate observation, like “our calculations show a 30% chance of an ice-free Arctic by 2000”, or “at this current rate of melting, the Arctic will be ice-free by 2013”.
To say that these constitute a *prediction* of an ice-free Arctic by that year.. well, that’s dishonest. It takes an extra step, an extra assertion, to go from “might be” to “will be”, and if he hasn’t told you that he takes that stance, why would you assume he does? You’d be putting words in his mouth.
Which is why science journalism is so bad. They do this all the time.
Steven Goddard is making a career of putting words in other peoples mouths.
I don’t get paid for doing this.
You put words in other people’s mouths for free?
You spam for free?
No, I get paid by the worldwide conspiracy.
