In all fairness, not everyone listens to science. Obviously, drinking, doing drugs, smoking, eating tons of transfats, etc, are not good for us, yet, we still do it. Being overweight is bad (oh, right, pointing that out is now body shaming.) People pretend they’re the opposite gender and demand we call them that even though science says they aren’t. But, really, this is just one more point highlighting that the climate crisis scam is not about politics
Why science needs the humanities to solve climate change
Large wildfires in the Arctic and intense heat waves in Europe are just the latest evidence that climate change is becoming the defining event of our time. Unlike other periods that came and went, such as the 1960s or the dot-com boom, an era of unchecked climate change will lead to complex and irreversible changes in Earth’s life support systems.
There’s virtually nothing humanity can do about this, because it is mostly natural.
Many people view climate change as a scientific issue – a matter of physical, biological and technical systems. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s most recent assessment report, for example, is a vast compendium of climate science, threats and potential solutions.
Yet modern climate change is also a human problem caused by the collective behaviors of people – mostly the wealthy – around the world. Japanese economist Yoichi Kaya summarizes this viewpoint in an elegant equation known as the Kaya Identity: Global greenhouse gas emissions are the product not just of energy use and technology, but also human population size and economic activity.
The evil rich!
In our view, solving the world’s climate problems will require tapping into brainpower beyond science. That’s why the two of us – an ecologistand a humanities dean – are teaming up to rethink climate solutions. Recently we developed a program to embed humanities graduate students in science teams, an idea that climate research centers are also exploring.
Da, comrade, you must be cured of your Wrongthink (by people who refuse to change their own lives to stop the climate crisis (scam)).
Humanist scholars like LeMenager help to uncover the root causes of complex problems. Yes, rising carbon dioxide levels trap more heat in the atmosphere – but values matter too. Defining features of American identity, such as independence, freedom, mobility and self-reliance, have become entangled with petroleum consumption.
Are you getting the idea that they want everything about your modern like to change? And that they do not like America very much? This word salad of Modern Socialism continues on. Just like the carbon footprints from the people who believe this malarkey.
