Comment on "influencers" are setting us back
porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 6 days agoYou have clearly been misled by propaganda. There is no broad disagreement about these issues. If there is debate about “how much climate change is caused by human activity” it is regarding the third nine after the decimal point of the percentage figure, which might be debated fiercely but makes no difference at all to the overall message.

Yes. The debate was about whether highly credentialed and educated experts can be wrong due to perverse incentives. As you pointed out, yes they can.
You can find so-called experts on both sides of any issue, so saying “a subset of so-called experts agree with me” is not a slam dunk argument.
