What if climate change turns out to be a hoax and we made the world better for nothing?
- stavros 4y agoI, for one, would hate to live in a better world.
- subroutine 4y agoIf climate change turns out to be wrong, nevermind a deliberate hoax, it would result in incalculable damage to the reputation of the entire scientific community for the next century.
- wizzwizz4 4y agoAs it should be. See how much they're sticking out their necks, and perhaps take this as seriously as they are?
- jolancer 4y agoI mean we do live in the Holocene interglacial and the interglacial won't last forever. Obviously we have warmed the planet a great deal but I don't think that is going to stop the next ice age.
- locutous 4y agoThis presumes that all efforts to curb climate change make the world better. Global regulation of fundamental economic development represents a shift to authoritarianism. That's not a positive move if you believe in individual liberty. It also represents a significant loss of wealth. We pay more for the same services.
