I think it's just your bias showing. This is 2023, people who are "skeptical" of the climate change aren't there for legitimate reasons. And frankly I'm less and less convinced that we need to engage these people.
- holbrad 3y agoI think might be your bias showing... IMO there's an awful lot of necessary debate around climate policy. Skeptical can mean anything from thinking: 1) Battery storage for intermittent renewables is unsolved and therefore nuclear is a better solution (I think this is actually correct, if we could emulate France's historic budgets, timelines and safety) 2) The earth isn't warming at all and it's a Chinese conspiracy. There's a lot of room between those two points, even thing's as basic as what's our current level of warming are harder to pin down than you would expect.
