You can just read the paper https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15230430.2022.2047247 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15230430.2022.2... Shellenberger is more of a PR/grifter person than a scientist. Presumably if he was a scientist he’d have read this and other papers that somewhat convincingly indicate that, well, he’s spewing nonsense.
