Reduce consumption? They want to reduce production locally which will have no effect on consumption globally. It’s ironic that the first discipline you choose as an example has such a significant replication crisis. In the same way that mainstream climate models lack predictive power, mainstream economics models often fail to predict huge events like the GFC. I think I understand now why you don’t engage with my arguments or provide academic references: you believe the science is settled and you no longer have any skepticism. You think it’s a political problem and not a scientific question which is why you mostly provide links to newspapers rather than scientific journals. If you aren’t willing to consider the possibility of being wrong then evidence (or lack thereof) isn’t going to sway you. Your position has turned from scientific to dogmatic. You infer that I haven’t read enough which doesn’t make sense since I seem to bring up points you aren’t aware of (eg sulphate aerosol effects). I think you should read more, less mainstream media and more actual scientific literature. I used to be worried about climate change until I started looking at climate model papers and learnt enough about the models to understand their limits. Once you see how the sausage is actually made you won’t be so convinced.
