I'm afraid you're not painting a correct picture here. There are climate sceptics (they call themselves realists) that used to work for the IPCC. There are established professors among them (no not psychologists, geologists).
Please do not act as if they are dumb fks. That is not the case.
- phaemon 6y agoI'm afraid most of them are. Would you care to give an example of one who is not? I'll happily look over a blog or video and give my opinion.
- raarts 6y agoI don't think you are sincere since you already mention blog and video, which are the usual mantra words of the politicizing discourse but I encourage everyone who is interested to look into https://judithcurry.com/ https://judithcurry.com/ for an example.
- phaemon 6y agoYou don't think I'm sincere, because I asked for a link to a blog, so you give me a link to Judith Curry's blog? I'm familiar with Curry's "work". I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but then she went from warning about caution to outright lies. Frankly, I'd rather someone who was honestly stupid than Judith Curry who knows she's lying, but does it anyway. See: https://www.skepticalscience.com/Judith_Curry_arg.htm https://www.skepticalscience.com/Judith_Curry_arg.htm Oh, FFS, I just read through her last few entries. She's got worse. Now it's the Anthony Watts technique of linking to articles with suggestive headlines without commentary. Example: "Misconceptions of global catastrophe [link]". Now, that article is about the real issues that will arise from Climate Change, and about people's misconceptions about them, but she knows very few people will actually read the article, and will instead take the wrong implication from the title.
