In an article in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, centre director Johan Rockström and centre researcher Will Steffen attemp to provide a balanced description of the scientific evidence of climate change and answer the criticism that has surfaced over the past months.

- Climate sceptics brush the scientific evidence under the carpet by exaggerating a marginal error in the IPCC´s latest report and misrepresenting other IPCC results, with the goal of undermining climate research as a whole. This is not only wrong, but also irresponsible. The situation is too serious to allow this type of unsubstantiated manipulation to continue, the researchers say.
