It’s easier to villify and dismiss your opponets as kooks than it is to actually address their questions, arguments, positions. Matt is taking this low road in his illustration.
Go back to Dasmann, 1955, as he describes, yes, the cooling in Northern Europe, and the man-caused heating and drought in the Mediterranean and North Africa, and on a regional scale you will see “climate change”, that is now world-wide. Changes in laws and practices HAVE changed the models, but Anthropogenic CLIMATE CHANGE, and yes ""warming" IS REAL, and very definable.
Whether you choose to believe climate warming or not isn’t the issue. It’s whether we can afford financially to make the necessary changes to limit the damage. So far the price for the limited amount of temperature change we can make given the development of the third world makes anything we do relatively futile.
Do I have this right? The premise of the cartoon appears to be that climate change skepticism is aligned with IQ. So people with higher intelligence are more skeptical of climate change?
Data? Facts? Evidence? No.I see lots of data the other way, that AGW is real and happening now.Your interpretation on Davies’ thinking is completely fictional.
