The video this is referencing is by a pretty internet-famous scientist, Sabine Hossenfelder, who is NOT a climate scientist. She produces videos on various topics in science, in- and outside of her field.
I personally am of the opinion that an academic education in one field does not qualify someone sufficiently to produce critically interesting or novel content in another field (without an existing track record of doing science in that field, at least).
With a degree in Comp Sci I would be very careful to make any educational statements about state of the art medicine, even if I could sufficiently understand and explain basic concepts to people due to my academic education and ability to read papers.
- defrost 2y agoSabine Hossenfelder is a Physicist and climate science is best understood from a physics perspective, heat equations in particular.

- silverquiet 2y agoThis isn't novel content - this is her reporting on papers she's read. If you only want to consume content from climate scientists, you can also read the papers directly.
