Belief That "Second Coming" May Be Preventing Climate Change Action

76. It would literally take FOREVER to go into the detail that I'm sure you'll require............

But I'm sure you know my beef by now.

One really big example I can think of, off the top of my head, was the furor that ensued last summer when that big AMEG paper by Malcolm P.R. Light came out, assuring us that methane was supposedly starting to massively leak out of the Arctic in such quantities that all life on Earth would cease to exist by mid-century. That, of course, was utter junk & bull, but a LOT of people really bought into it, and I was one of those people who said, right from the beginning, in fact, that "Look, guys, this shit doesn't add up".

And then there were certain people repeating & promoting highly dubious claims from guys like David Wasdell and Guy McPherson, about, respectively, this "Earth Systems" mumbo-jumbo(with 7.8*C sensitivity per doubling, no less! No shit, he really said that.), and a claim that we'd be hitting 16*C above today's levels by 2100(I don't remember any links, but if I find any, I'll send it to you, if you're willing to let me do that), and I was one of the FEW active posters calling it out for the bullshit that it was.

And that's just the TIP of this iceberg of colossal intellectual dishonesty & total fail.
