I have seen more criticism of resistance against AC than people actually arguing against AC.
Maybe there is a group of loud AC resistors somewhere that I managed to avoid this whole time? Or maybe the pundits are pushing a narrative to rile people up and drive their substack income like they always do? Who knows!
- citadel_melon 4mo agoThis other article mentioned that France’s left party was anti-AC but are now starting to change their policy positions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48661506 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48661506 From this limited sample, I’d imagine there was a groups of advocates arguing for anti-AC policies, but that this is now shifting with as climate change develops. Questionable (albeit maybe defensible) degrowth policies are not unheard of in the EU. Most famously is Germany’s move away from nuclear which forced their dependence on Russian natural gas. So there is probably truth that people used to be somewhat anti-AC. But, I’d share your skepticism if there are large groups of people who still believe in anti-AC policies. The article I share would suggest many of these people have updated their priors.
