> I think it's pretty reasonable to think that an extreme climate would cause extreme mortality.
Classic equivocation fallacy on the word “extreme” in two different contexts.
If our arguments are so transparently wrong, it makes it easier to dismiss climate change.
> So, are you suggesting that we actually have plenty of time to deal with climate change
As Babbage put it, I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
- tejohnso 2mo agoThe article is about not having time to waste. It is not about the expectation of what might happen at the extreme. I understand it's easier to dismiss and point out an equivocation fallacy than to discuss the main position of the article. As T.S Eliot put it, humankind cannot bear very much reality.
