This author does this a lot. I just couldn't keep up with all the inaccuracies and mischaracterizations, so I stopped reading near the bottom. This article is an example of modern top-notch fear mongering.
As much as I loved The Newsroom, that Toby clip is one example of a failure in their writing. Where 1 death by climate change somehow translates into everyone on earth dying. Spoiler: Everyone does at some point. SMH
- ncmncm 7y agoIt matters when. 50 million dying per year is the baseline, say a billion in 20. So, if six billion die over the next 20 years, that is a problem. If it happens, we can at least be certain that 6 billion more will not die in the subsequent period.
