This guy wrote a book explaining how climate change is indeed happening, and is indeed caused by humans, and that it is a good thing that is going to turn the world into a paradise. 

Is this conservatives finally realizing that they an't simply deny the science and deciding to spin it?

The facts are right. The interpretation is fucked up. The Earth has been way hotter in the past. And well beyond the 2 Celsius limit.

Thing is, those changes were usually gradual. And when they weren't they lead to mass extinctions.

The interesting about Homo sapiens is that we are actually adapted for hotter temperatures. The problem is is that we've kinda ditched that a little and made high density population centers on coastlines. It's not a question of if humanity will survive. We will. It's just going to blow. Especially for people living in coastal cities.

If they didn't exist, we'd have to invent them.
