authoritative information? Does ANYONE know where to find it? (Please don't offer anything at all from Wikideceivia. Permanently discounted as a trustworthy source by their own dishonesty.) Those ideas about the 200 million-year decline in ambient CO2, with no apparent corresponding response in mean temperatures, should be verifiable or falsifiable. But who to trust for a reliable account? The two opposing narratives about climate shift can't both be right. How TF do we decide? Or are they both reality-disconnected errors? I think maybe we're right to be cautious about what to believe - in any direction. I don't think that's giving in to malevolently-spread confusion tactics, real though they are, clearly. It's just a basic of scientific thought: open-minded scepticism at all times. Though I'm still persuaded that we're heading into a set of grand crises anyway. Just street-level common sense yields that conclusion, without having to rely on abstruse technicalities from unproven sources - and aren't they all, apparently? The curse of our time; or maybe of any time, perhaps. I just don't know what to believe... |
