Major Nature Study Retracted After RCP8.5 Criticism
Original: Climate Change Weekly # 592—Major Nature Study Retracted After RCP8.5 Debunking
A prominent study published in the journal Nature has been retracted following criticism of its use of the RCP8.5 emissions scenario, a high-warming pathway widely questioned as implausible. The retraction, highlighted in climate commentary circles, is being cited by skeptics as evidence of flaws in alarmist climate modeling, while others note retractions are a normal part of scientific self-correction.
Why now: Climate skeptics are citing the retraction to argue that widely used worst-case emissions scenarios are unreliable.
