Don't you find it problematic to put the research in climate sciences on the same level as predictions by Charles Manson and other cult leaders?

- aww_dang 4y agoI like your line of questioning here. Yes, I find it problematic. Questioning climate doom is nearly a heresy. Is it cult like? At what point do we take those who implore us to "believe the science" literally? When does this become scientism, a system of belief rather than science, a system of rational inquiry? Perhaps there really is an impending apocalypse. Thus far doomsaying hasn't panned out. Doomsday fears have been used to rationalize financial schemes and power grabs. But then, perhaps this time is different.
