In all other things, submitting that the worst scenario is not 
plausible, one might seek the actual worst case scenario instead of 
throwing the baby out with the bathwater and living a life of ease, 
whistling under a tree and forgetting about the whole deal. Had you 
considered this? If this RCP8.5 is not plausible, what is? Perhaps a 
milder case of terribleness? That we might have 20 years to save 
ourselves instead of 15? What do you hope to gain by harping about the 
irrationality of RCP8.5 while climate change remains a true concern?

It seems rather than arguing about climate change and what might be 
discerned from facts, you would rather leap upon an admission that it's 
not as bad as we had thought and trumpet it to the skies saying the 
whole thing is a sham. The only reason to do this would be if it were 
arrived at RCP8.5 with the intention to deceive, yet you have shown none 
of this. Climate change is a difficult science and perhaps we fail at it 
from time to time, but what do you actually contribute to the 
conversation or question regarding it besides second grade putdowns and 
an unwillingness to come to the table with an intent to be earnest?

BTW thanks a whole lot for reporting me to the FBI. They've slowed down 
my machine considerably and I may have to throw it out.

Is it too much to ask for grownups to communicate with and not second 
grade tattle tales?
