"I push back on doomism because I don’t think it’s justified by the science, and I think it potentially leads us down a path of inaction,” said Mann during a talk last Thursday at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
“And there are bad actors today who are fanning the flames of climate doomism because they understand that it takes those who are most likely to be on the front lines, advocating for change, and pushes them to the sidelines, which is where polluters and petrostates want them.”
Nice, sounds like we don’t have to do anything then, Manns got this /s
Fantists like him will be the death of us. Can we stop it, no? can we stop some ofthe worst of it ? Of course but we havent even started doibg anything as witnessed by emissions always increasing… , asshats like Mann are atill flying around the place telling us not to fly around the place
To be fair though, I still dont understand what his point is to be honest, what we have is a sliver of 10-20 % of the planet living so far beyond the sustainable level they’re destroying the biosphere. Is this what it is we’re supposed to protect ? Their right to destroy everything ?
