I’ve engaged in a discussion recently where a guy told me:
- Climate modeling doesn’t make sense since science can’t even predict next-day weather
- More CO2 is good for plants
- He doesn’t care about scientific papers on climate change because he can’t comprehend them. But he thinks they’re wrong anyway.
- There’s a guy on YouTube who says climate change isn’t real
What grinds my gears is that so many people think they can reason about complex systems based on their gut feeling. And their gut tells them: “If it’s getting warmer, why is it snowing in Texas?!”
