I’m not going to sit and listen to one dissenting voice when a mountain of evidence and their peers contradict them.
It’s funny you bring up the pandemic, because this is exactly the same type of politicization the pandemic brought to science. Did /you/ learn nothing?
- starkd 4y agoHe is not the lone voice of dissent. There's also Shellenberger and Bjorn Lomborg. The fact that they do not share the same panicked attitude about the climate science does not mean they no longer care about the issue. They are only saying that it is manageable without severe disruptions to the economy.
