Sorry, but I don‘t agree with your comment about Michael Schellenberger. I follow his journey for quite some time and admire him profoundly. I used to be fully aligned with the environment agenda, like him, and also like him (and many others) I am profoundly worried with the totally unscientific, ideological, messianic, autocratic and financial opportunistic turn it has undergone. I think FAIR showed the expected neutrality, wisdom and courage in bringing him in and I think he can greatly contribute to bring sense back to many
I'm assuming that, like many anti-environmentalists, you're using shrill activists like Greta Thunberg as a proxy for environmentalism as a whole. This is called "nutpicking" and is a dishonest rhetorical strategy. Greta doesn't speak for anybody but herself -- I personally think she's an embarrassment to the climate change movement (especially after her recent anti-Israel statements).
I hope you realize that there are thousands of quantitative environmental scientists around the world and that climate change, for example, is backed by reams of hard data. I suggest you try to separate the activists from the science itself.
The data are clear: the planet is warming rapidly due to burning fossil fuels. There are trillions of dollars to be made by the transition to a low-carbon economy. Would you rather China make all that money or the US?
I hope the answer is clear. Partisan ideologues like Shellenberger are only getting in the way. (That said, his work on the "Twitter Files" was excellent.)
