The author seems to approach climate science as exact science. It is not. Predictions could be just way off the mark. There might be just a catastrophic failure and the food chain might collapse. The 6% drop in crop yields might just become a 50% drop. Climate scientists don't know shit. If they knew, they would be proposing solutions.
- WhompingWindows 7y agoClimate scientists do know many things, the problem is it's hard to accurately quantify the rate at which changes will occur, which is so important to us because we only have a limited amount of time to change our energy system. Look at the IEA for example, they attempted to model the energy mix going forward and have been wrong about how quickly renewables would be adopted...basically every single year, they get it wrong. It's just very very hard to forecast and predict, but you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater saying they "don't know shit." And they ARE proposing solutions by the barrelfull, the problem is politicians and many corporations simply don't listen and don't act.
