I wouldn't blame anyone for having dismissed "global cooling" way back in the eighties as a dipshit FUD response to the uncertainties surrounding early global warming models by business interests, conservatives and some of the less credible scientific skeptics - and then putting it out of their mind.
- ein0p 2y agoAre there perhaps still “uncertainties” around global warming, or will you call people “dipshits” 20 years later when we all not only survive and do OK, but add another couple billion to the planet’s population? That’s the point of my OP. I’ve seen this doomsday bullshit a few times now. They should tone down the rhetoric and look for solutions that do not send us back to preindustrial times, and do not involve “paying more taxes and eating bugs”
