I have no problems with climate science
My issues with alarmist climate campaigners are:
- Alarmism, and spreading moral panic. Looking back over the course of my life, I can honestly say every moral panic I've witnessed did more harm than good
- Corruption of free speech and the public sphere by pursuing "no platform" campaigns of ostracization and demonization against "deniers"
- Promoting pseudo-science. Prioritizing alarmist climate models over the best evidence is anti-science
- Climate campaigners don't even have the best solutions:
- Their focus on energy saving starved the developing world of much needed wealth
- Their focus on subsiding expensive non-carbon energy makes energy more expensive for those in poverty, and increases poverty
- Downplaying R&D. In terms of solutions: energy R&D should have priority over the two mistaken policies above. It's the only proper solution
