It’s a shame that people like Drunkle exist, who clearly don’t have a single clue about the actual science involved and will hum loudly when anyone who does tries to correct his spectacularly ignorant takes.
Quite literally, a guy like him is going to have to be taken by the hand like a literal toddler and shown up close, in person, the devastating effects of climate change well after it is no longer possible to avoid them, at which point he’ll blame scientists for not warning him sooner that this could happen.
You’re the embodiment of the “If the Titanic is sinking, then why are we so high up in the air?” meme.
What a factless uneducated piece of crap this article is. Let’s start with the obvious. We have done nothing to destroy the fossil fuel industry. Last year oil companies made more profits than at any point in the history of their existence. Biden just approved the largest drilling project on federal land in history, and when gas prices were high, Biden opened oil reserves to lower the price.
Second, no one claims Science is settled. Science evolves as we gain information. Newtonian physics was largely replaced by Einstein’s theory of relativity. But that does not mean we can’t use what information we have. Intelligent people use the best information they have available to make the best choices they can about their future. Newtonian physics, even fundamentally wrong, resulted in massive technological advancements and allowed us to accurately predict the orbit of the planets and the density of stars.
The vast majority of Scientists believe man is contributing to climate change, and that climate change is going to cost us Trillions of dollars and tens of millions of lives in the future. Most Scientists believe, if we act prudently now we can reduce the cost to us all and save millions of lives. We can either use the information we have to try to make the best choices or follow this idiot’s advice and say since we do not have 100% certainty we should simply ignore the issue altogether and do whatever we want.
