Emotions sure but reason too.
If anyone could reasonably explain to me exactly why I should trust any of those models that are not even close to making accurate predictions I would be grateful.
- coldtea 7y agoBecause it's not about making "accurate predictions", but about recognizing a still disastrous trend. Recognizing that the house "is on fire" is more important than being able to tell (which noone really can) with great precision at what moment this curtain with caught fire itself, how many degrees will be in the patio in 30 minutes, and when the roof will collapse... If your house is full of feces and garbage, you'd want to remove them. A sane person wouldn't wait until experts warning you about cholera, dysentery, and typhoid from said garbage to first "accurately predict" when exactly the first family member will get such a disease, how high a fever they will get, and whether they'll survive it or not... Not to mention that treating the environment better, reducing CO2, saving forests, and reducing waste, are good in themselves, with or without a climate emergency attached to them.
- julienreszka 7y agoThis doesn't look like a reasonable explanation at all.
- coldtea 7y agoNothing looks like a reasonable explanation when someone doesn't want to accept any alternative to what they are already determined to believe... Even if the overwhelming majority of global climate experts say otherwise and who warn of the danger, he can always consider them misguided or in a big conspiracy to dupe us...
