Yeah it's either that or the scientists are right about their field of study. Absolutely shocking and depressing how many people are willing to trust this Capitalist Realism hunch over the world in front of their eyes.
I get your point. There’s a lot hysteria right now. However I think people are willing to trust a capitalist realism hunch because over the last >20 years, that hunch is usually going to be right.
The exact same thing can be said of climate science though, and that one turned out to be very, very real.
Yes though I would argue climate science has >50 years of multi institution independent study to back up the assertions.
