| "having ten or twenty years of thoughtful discussion might be more useful than the superficial solutions, public hand-wringing, and breathless media stories."
And that is the crux of the problem. The kluges and Gores of the world are out to snuff out any thoughtful discussion or scientific research by calling anyone who disagrees with their views "flat earthers".
Weren't the original "flat earthers" the ones who wanted to squelch scientific thought in favor of embracing the conventional wisdom of the day? So, who are the real contemporary flat earthers? Those who try to inhibit additional research into climate change because it is "settled" or those who realize that there is so much more understanding that is required? |
