I think many non-scientific people are weighing in on "science" like they have any understanding on the subject.
The fact that almost every climate scientist agrees with each other about climate change is pretty telling.
Most of the "skeptics" are uneducated people who do not understand basics of science, even less complex climate systems. Others are malicious actors who are on the pay of corporate interests, as this article points out. I have yet to see a truly skeptical point come from an actual scientist (that isn't on a corporate payroll).
- Loughla 7y agoWait for the response to your statement from a seemingly naive person. It will be something about how a majority of scientists once believed in [insert disproven theory here]. It will be made in seeming naivete, but will 100% be from a bad actor. Across all websites, across all platforms, whenever someone says "well almost every climate scientist agrees with this", somebody crawls out to make that statement.
