Let's be honest. Climate science also needs to decide if it will be anthropocentric or not. As harsh as it sounds, if science is not supposed to be anthropocentric, then it doesn't matter to science if humanity becomes extinct or suffers. By definition. So if climate science is going to make human suffering or survival the key important issue,
it should completely discard any language that it's about the earth and environment, and discard any pretense that it's not trying to be anthropocentric.
- snowwrestler 10y agoScience is the process of learning how the universe works. It is not anthropocentric. What we choose to do with that knowledge is anthropocentric because we are humans. Science can tell us how fire works. We still have to decide what to do when our house catches on fire.
- PakG1 10y agoI'm being pedantic, but what to do with the knowledge seems to be a policy and political question, not a science question.
- snowwrestler 10y agoI agree.
