Anna Orridge π Q-BAS #AntiGrowthCoalition Neil Salter The Guardian The real problem is that there is an increasing tendency for anyone who steps outside the consensus IPCC view - including climate scientists - to be tarred with the doomer brush. This is unhelpful and quite likely dangerous.
Bill McGuire Q-BAS #AntiGrowthCoalition Neil Salter The Guardian I agree, though the danger of climate fatalism is also a very real one - and we know it's being pushed by fossil fuel interests.
Anna Orridge π Q-BAS #AntiGrowthCoalition Neil Salter The Guardian My concern is doomer 'creep' which is seeing the term widened beyond those who feel there is no hope. This isn't really helping anyone.
Bill McGuire Anna Orridge π Neil Salter The Guardian Yes, agree!
I have been called 'doomer' few times just because I said that Earth is not magic pudding and some losses are inevitable at this stage.
@AndrewMurphie Q-BAS #AntiGrowthCoalition Bill McGuire Neil Salter The Guardian Interesting points. This thread feels very relevant to all of this.
