Good Morning Nostrs.
Today on X someone said:
Scientific consensus is well established on climate change issue: It is human made, and drastic reduction of emissions is required.
To which I replied:
“Consensus” is a political term that is used to obscure the actual science. It’s an argument from authority, with that authority being usurped by the arguer.
The actual research indicates rising levels of CO2 and rising temperatures; but does not suggest “drastic” anything.
In short, the research is interpreted, then summarized, then reinterpreted, then re-summarized, in a game of “telephone” that warps and obscures the actual results of the research to align with the goals of the politicians.
