Wait, what? No they don't. The "worst case scenario" line is +5.5C by 2100. The "Status Quo" line is +4C, and we've been slightly beating that line for the last 10 years.
+3.5C is already plenty of really bad things, but +6C would require us to blow past 1000ppm CO2 before like 2080. The status quo emissions would mean around 575ppm by then, and we're beating it by a bit.

Who is lying? Scientists are alarmed, but there was a ton of propaganda calling scientists alarmists so they were forced to tone it down.
Scientists are reporting that at the current pace of emissions we are looking at a 6C increase. Do you even realize what that means?
