I have no clue if the data in the slides is correct, but scrolling through it, it seems that we can deal with the current issues presented without too much hassle.
Even while I _do_ support a quite drastict enironment-protection stance, this piece does make all the "doomsdayers" look very childish. If I have learnt _one_ thing about predictions, the "doomsday" never comes... even "black swan events" like Covid19, while tragic, does not produce any "statistically significant" (>5%) damage on the world's population.
- polotics 5y agoCan't you see how disconnected these factoids are, can't you see the clear hidden variables, like the one about coal use going down (thanks gas!) The one about less whales being killed now than 1960 (no more whales killed in 2100 I think). Have you read properly written research papers, the way they track down bias, list what work was done to identify any hidden variables, the reference to statistical baselines? Thes slide are the exact opposite of good research, and in the absence of available time to debunk metric tons of bullshit, I propose you just think!
- soco 5y agoHere's a future-oriented solution to whale killing: if we kill them all now, we won't kill any whales in the following years! Yay for statistics! </sarcasm>
