מדען בריטי: כ-40 שנה של התראות על ההתחממות הגלובלית הגיעו לסופן, המחויבות שלנו לאפס פליטות - התאבדות כלכלית ומתקפה על העניים

We genuinely censored and blacklisted anyone who expressed even remote skepticism about climate. You know, I'm not a denier. They call me that all the time. I don't deny that carbon dioxide has a warming effect. I don't deny we're in a warming period. I don't deny that human emissions are contributing. I just deny that it's a massive existential threat that is more important than affordable energy for the poor in the developing world. Matt Ridley says the world knows the climate crisis is over. Britain needs to catch up. We are now in a new world where the roughly 40 years of alarm over global warming is coming to an end. And by the way, the science supports that. Matt says our commitment to net zero is economic suicide and an attack on the poor. I'm sorry, in what world do you say to poor people today in Africa who haven't even got electricity? You must make sacrifices so that people who are five times as rich don't have to be only four and a half times as rich. That is the most regressive policy I have ever heard of. But that is roughly what we are asking to do by pursuing net zero. We talk about innovation and the need for science to resist ideological capture. There was this push to clear consensus again and again in science. It became, I'm sorry to say, like the Catholic Church. There's one true faith and you have to do what the pope says, which I don't think is the way that science should operate.
