Abstract
⺠Climate scientists are not alarmists but have underestimated recent climate changes. ⺠We identify a directional bias toward erring on the side of least drama (ESLD). ⺠ESLD is an internal pressure arising from norms of objectivity, restraint, etc. ⺠ESLD may cause scientists to underpredict or downplay future climate changes.
