I mean, HN probably has a bias on whether the world is flat, too. I’d certainly hope so, anyway.

Responses like this and how we handled the pandemic are why I think billions of people are going to die and some folks will still insist it’s just El Niño.

Is nitpicking a statistic the strongest argument you can muster against climate change, or is there a good argument that the planet is not heating up more rapidly than we have been able to observe in human history and with ice core samples?

This is not a topic where bias is possible. There are people like you advancing known false narratives from con artists and regurgitating workshopped slanders in an attempt to muddy the waters. And then there is an overwhelming majority of subject matter experts.

I've often considered starting a "think tank" in order to scrounge money off of unscrupulous corporations who need an "independent" advocate. you could probably write a lot of it with an LLM. the issue would be looking my family and friends in the eye

That does not look like the most journalistically rigorous site the mentioned article is from "Energy Talking Points", I suspect it's a shill for the "energy" (read fossil fuel) industry, based on a random selection of their other article titles:

- How today's global anti-fossil-fuel agenda is crippling American small businesses

- An open letter to Elizabeth Warren on natural gas prices

- Talking Points on the dangerous falsehood that "Climate change is a public health issue"

I'm open to examining the science, but I don't appreciate equating the views of an industry insider or someone with an axe to grind with what a much more broad consensus of scientists have to say about climate change.

Especially when there's a _very_ clear financial incentive for the "energy" industry to continue business as usual. Qui bono?

Bias eh? lol

"Alexander Joseph Epstein is an American author[1] and climate change denier[2][3] who advocates for the expansion of fossil fuels." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Epstein_(American_writer)

Are you surprised that a shill peice written by a guy sponsored by coal and oil got flagged here?

Your article says: "...the mild 1°C warming we have experienced to date."

Wow.
