So same for Al Gore, honor him for spreading 'sky is falling!!!!!', later pretend he was never important when he becomes embarassment.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostIMHO it is his habit of promoting over-the-top absolutely worst case scenarios imaginable as inevitable and imminent that is the biggest of his many problems
It concerns me somewhat that scientists have a tendency to generate ~4 models of 'best case' scenario through to 'worst case' and then publicly push only their 'best case scenario estimates (i.e. ones that show the least dangers) in order to not look like alarmists. However, I relatively frequently hear comments from scientists researching the topic that actually climate change often appears to be having worse effects than even their worst case scenarios. I am usually generally extremely optimistic about the future of our society, but everything I know about this issue has me deeply deeply concerned... as a scientist myself I know people doing active research in this field and the things they tell me are not reassuring at all.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostI would say with an issue such as climate change, where the potential possibility of inaction followed by a worse-than-we-are-expecting case scenario exists, and where there are are no serious problems with over-reacting to the threat, that it is rational to over-hype.

The boy who cried wolf analogy would imply that in the future when climate change threatens to reoccur (why would it?) that society wouldn't believe the scientists the second time if climate change had been averted the first time. That seems silly.
I get it - you're giving an example of how extremely exaggerating you can be. Kinda like Gore."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
