Why We Need More Climate Change Skeptics

in news •  2 years ago 

Unfortunately, the politicized climate field has many reinforcing biases entrenched within it. This must lead to the dissemination of biased or incomplete facts, and biased conclusions. Yet it is important we don’t get this wrong. Because people suffer and die when science becomes unquestioned dogma.

This article points out once case where bias caused millions of deaths. The banning of DDT. I'm sure exposure to lots of DDT probably isn't good for you. However, Malaria killed millions in Africa that didn't have to die, in large part because of the ban.

In the case of climate change, biases are huge on both sides but the risks come not only from doing nothing but doing something without carefully considering the effects, both long and short-term, of what you are doing. Even economic effects can have profound life and death implications. Skepticism is needed not only in terms of the current predictions, but especially in terms of any proposed solutions.
