Hope but no meaningful progress, or despair but a bit of fight - what's best? on 23:34 - Oct 24 with 448 views | CoachRob | According to the greatest climate economist 3.1C of warming is suboptimal and we should be looking at a higher value of warming. I think a lack of understanding of climate change, especially the impacts and limitations of adaptation by those in power, is very worrying. The right-wing press is now going after the UN, odd conspiracies about WEF and laughably the financial affairs of climate scientists. Are those in power on the side of science or listening to grifters who struggle with basics of Newtonian physics? In defence of the UN, it delivered the Montreal Protocol in spite of the grifters from economics and industry trying to discredit those scientists who would become recipients of the Nobel Prize. The UN remains a possible pathway to mitigation and the IPCC is undoubtedly an excellent way to summarise the science for policymakers. In direct answer to your question, the amount of misinformation that comes from techno-optimists and doomers alike would bring me to think that many people go around with a completely false impression of the climate and ecological crisis. |  | |  |
