Intelligence and mental health do not seem to correlate.
Even very intelligent people can be susceptible to all kinds of cognitive distortions or disturbed thought patterns, even ones which seem very striking or bizarre to an outside observer.
Climate change is just one of those topics, I guess because it's so dire and large in scope, that it brings peoples psychological defence mechanisms right to the fore.
- graycat 4y agoIf you have some credible evidence that human sources of CO2 have caused, are causing, or will cause significant warming, then trot it out. I've been waiting for such evidence for years. By now you have a big problem: We have had in recent years a significant increase in CO2 but without a significant increase in temperature. So, we have good evidence that the warming effect of CO2 is tiny, too small to detect.
