It's funny to me, because at this point, there's glaring scientific evidence to demonstrate not-trivially-reversible anthropogenic climate change, and we're sort of at that same point where we were with leaded gasoline, where it's not about whistle-blowers anymore, but there's still an intractable scientific payola to plant the seed of doubt in any conversation.
Action is required at this point, regardless of transnational economic inertia.
What does it take to root out scientific provocateurs, and shut them up?
- tych0 9y agoI agree that there is human caused changing of the global climate due to emissions from fossil fuels, among other things. With that said, did you read the article? > The calving of icebergs is a natural process. While climate change is affecting Antarctica in a variety of ways, this week's event does not signal that the region is entering a new state. That is happening in the Arctic, which has already been dramatically reshaped by human-caused global warming, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researchers. Scientists do not believe Antarctica is in a precipitous state of warming right now. Yesterday, as news of the calving spread, many researchers were careful to note that they were not chalking it up to global warming. Climate change is an important issue to be sure, but this seems unrelated.
