And where did the Economist do this? When was the Economist ever denying climate change?
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoDoes their glowing obituary of Nigel Lawson count: > His frequent presence on the bbc, arguing against the reality of man-made climate change or, alternatively, that a bit of warming was desirable, depending on the day, outraged environmentalists and scientists alike. https://www.economist.com/britain/2023/04/04/nigel-lawson-was-the-economic-brain-of-thatcherism https://www.economist.com/britain/2023/04/04/nigel-lawson-wa...
- jdminhbg 4y agoSeems like no, it does not count, because they're explicitly saying he was wrong: > the reality of man-made climate change
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoSomeone can question the reality of something that isn't real. So they've not even managed that low bar you've set for them. We have to assume their opinion on this. We know it outrages environmentalists and scientists, but apparently the economists opinion is not relevant or worth stating explicitly?
- jdminhbg 4y agoI mean, it's an obituary. They don't really need to spend an additional paragraph about their opinion on climate change, given that they have articles that are about climate change all over the rest of the magazine. The idea that they're secretly climate change deniers because they don't spend as much time on it as you'd like in an obituary is honestly slightly crazy.
