As opposed to the conflict of interest where the people who make money from the status quo, and the scientists on their payroll, say there is no problem?
I understand the scepticism, but if there is a problem with the status quo, that is the only way to find out about it. The people making money off selling oil aren't going to volunteer to shut down.
- Tycho 11y agoThere's other ways. Let people put their money where their mouth is. If AGW is a real problem, then we ought to see certain insurance become expensive or coastal land value decreasing. People could even trade climate derivatives that start paying once temperature rises above a cap or something like that.
