...and people who worked in the 1950's.
The original modern understanding, resuming the work of Arrhenius in the late 19th century and early 20th century, was first clearly stated in the work of Roger Revelle's subordinate Charles Keeling. Keeling was born in 1928, Revelle in 1909, about 13 years after Arrhenius's first speculative paper on the subject.
We obviously have a very different definition of "garbage thinking."
Speaking only for myself, I suspect that, being able to make a decent stab at what "garbage thinking" might be, a good place would be to start with understanding what the word the word "born" means, but that's just me.
Another word it might be useful to understand is the word "correct." Anyone who thinks that we've done anything to "correct" climate change is either a Republican or delusional or grotesquely uninformed. We hit 420.01 ppm concentrations of carbon dioxide in 2021, less than 10 years after we first hit 400 ppm.
I couldn't possibly care less what you think is "garbage thinking," although I do feel I recognize it when I see it, but then again, I read the primary scientific literature, from which this author's biography comes. In general, I'm disinterested in sulky puerile babble, but having grown up in my generation, I have heard an awful lot of it.
