This article raises a lot of suspicion, and it has many of the hallmarks of bad reporting. - The Vice piece is shallow and didn't investigate the claims and arguments of the cited article (And what's with the authors photo? Is Zing Tsjeng really serious about this?); - The author of the paper, Jem Bendell, is not an academic in climate science nor in sustainability, but in "Sustainability Leadership", a field in Management; - The paper reads like an opinion piece. - The paper, as provided in the author's website, makes reference to the journal to which it was intended in the past tense, which raises the question of whether it is the original or an edited version; - Many of the references cited in the paper are from news websites, and only a few are proper scientific articles: I was expecting a lot, lot more; And the worst red flag of them all: - After being rejected by a not exactly relevant yet serious journal, the author made it public nonetheless, hinting at some form of censorship of an inconvenient opinion.
