What you say might be true if this was politically motivated. But scientists generally aren’t, and they’re generally scared of what their data is saying.

- adamrezich 5y agoah right—scientists. I forgot that one cannot question the motives of the contemporary clerical class, as they are always pure of heart and mind and uniquely the sole exception to the "everything is political" nature of modern times. apologies for the heresy!
- ericd 5y agoCome on. I'm really not a dogmatic "church of science" kind of person out there trying to burn the antivaxxer heretics or whatever, extremely far from it. Scientists are obviously fallible, it's the whole reason we have the scientific method. But I know a good number of scientists, and generally they're really the type of person that's interested in just figuring things out. And with those people in mind, I'm pretty sure this is not angling for anything except that we need to get on the fucking ball and decarbonize asap, because humans + resource shortage = conflict, and this is that taken to an extreme.
- adamrezich 5y agoare any of the scientists you know doomsaying on behalf of the UN?
