We have the «scientist» who understands the questions, uncertainties and doubts that are inherent in Climate Science with the scientific ethos of full disclosure of all those, and the «human being» who for the good of the planet must address the non scientific audience with dramatic, simplified, scary and non realistic scenarios.

But is a science paper the best place to «not» use scientific language, or maybe it's okay in science papers to be scientific and then to have folks such as yourself, talking to a non scientific audience, explain what it means using relatable percentages, such as the «roll of the dice» analogy (which really isn't that bad because it is relatable).
