The motive here is the "trust climate scientists now because they've been right about everything all along" narrative. There's no other reason for it.
- take_a_breath 7y agoThe motive could be “think twice before dismissing climate scientists because they have a pretty good track record.” Your interpretation seems to display the exact bias you are attributing to others.
- daenz 7y agoThe bias I'm suggesting is an appeal to authority, and you'll have to be more clear on how I'm displaying that, since I am neither suggesting I am an expert, nor am I showing off my long history of "being right" about other things.
