Not everyone in the field of science has abandoned the truth that carbon dioxide (CO2) and other “greenhouse gases” are good for people and planet as opposed to bad. More than 1,600 scientists – 1,609 as of this writing, to be precise – belonging to the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) signed the World Climate […]
There are a lot of politicians and scientists who do not feel the obligation to listen to sceptics like you. How come there is only one kind of truth?
Freeman Dyson (2016): Yes, this is of course a question I cannot answer. I have a theory about that. Which has to do with the evolution of humans. We evolved in small tribes. A hang-together-society in which we lived for a million years or so. As small tribes hunting in the forest, competing with each other. That’s how humans evolved. And under those conditions the important thing was loyalty to the tribe. It was absolutely the most important thing to have people totally loyal to the tribe. Holding the tribe together. And whether their beliefs where right or wrong was not so important. As long as they believed the same things they would survive. And I think that is very much driving us still. To be with the herd, to be thinking the same thoughts as other people is build into our nature. So it’s still more important to belong to the tribe than it is to speak the truth. And so I think that explains it a bit. And scientists are not different from other people, we have our tribes also. This believe in global warming, it is a tribal loyalty which is very strong. It’s always difficult for the heretic to find people to believe what he is saying. But still heretics are also important and luckily they are not burned at the stake anymore.
An increasing part of modern science is based not on reality but on simplified models of reality, which are all the better the closer they are to reality. A model is not a scientific proof. It does not prove anything; it is something to be proved. Syukuro Manabe was awarded the Nobel Prize for designing…
Idén kom i ren desperation. Att lösa världens klimatproblem genom att spruta ut svavelpartiklar högt upp i atmosfären - det ska man göra i absolut sista ögonblicket.
