I often encounter, especially on social media, individuals who are convinced that the latest extreme weather event is confirmation that the climate crisis is far worse than we thought, and scientists and climate communicators are intentionally “hiding” the scary truth from the public. It is the sort of conspiratorial thinking that we used to find among climate change deniers, but increasingly today we see it with climate doomists.
Wow. Talk about gaslighting and malicious misdirection.
You sound like a conservative voter that’s only recently gotten around to admitting that climate change actually exists, and isn’t actually some left-wing conspiracy. Only now your shtick is “it’s not so bad”.
Spoiler alert: it’s exactly as bad as many climate scientists say it is. And there are a crapton of them that are far more pessimistic than even I am, as they are nose-deep in the emerging data.
Who are you to claim you know better than Dr Mann? Have you even ever read any actual climate science papers or do you get all your doomism from other doomers?
Did you know that IPCC AR6 downgraded the “worst case scenario” - or maybe that’s something you just ignore since it doesn’t fit with your world view.
… or as Dr Mann puts it:
That’s you.

Ignore the politicians and policy makers.
