I agree. What I meant to say is that attitude change and political change is happening, it's just not happening fast enough. I should have chosen different words.

Well to answer the question, I think it is wrong to downplay the climate science to avoid despair and inaction among the public. I'm not sure how downplaying the science avoids inaction, though. I agree with Simon that the science is clear at this point. I think that change is happening - it's just not happening fast enough.
