Opinion Social Explanation for Underestimation of Climate Risk

[SummerStriker]

Climate scientists are under a great deal of pressure to express their findings on climate risk in a way that downplays the severity of what they are discovering. Afraid of being called, "alarmists," dragged into decade's long lawsuits, having their lives threatened, and so on, climate scientists are not trustworthy and often try to baby the public in order to protect themselves.

In the video below, this woman is a European TERF who "both sides" transgender issues, and has been banned from writing for popular science magazines for her skepticism of CERN, multiple universes, dark matter, and string theory, equating most of it to religion. In American politics, she would be on the right, or pushed far right, because of her skepticism of the scientific establishment, her accusations against other scientists for grant fraud, her opinions on gender issues, and her copious Elon dick sucking. However, she is on the left of climate science and expresses why here:

So she's a crazy kook with no credentials or educations and you think her clickbait video was worth making a Sherdog thread about?

Scientism is most certainly a religion but science in itself is a great tool and has given us all kinds of cool shit. Not sure why she picked such a low tier argument here. Certainly Quine's Two Dogma's, Hume's Is/Out, and countless metaphysical arguments are better arguments against the scientistic faith.

I normally don't defend myself on here, but you seem to be 100% illiterate so I will once. In my post, I said she has "banned from writing for certain scientific magazines." If you read what I posted in good faith, you would immediately assume that she has a platform based on that alone, and that I selected her video because her platform is good enough to make a noteworthy argument.

From wiki: Sabine Hossenfelder was born in Frankfurt, West Germany, on 18 September 1976.[2][3] She received an undergraduate degree in mathematics in 1997 from the Goethe University Frankfurt.[4] In 2004, she completed a doctorate in theoretical physics from the same institution, with her thesis titled "Schwarze Löcher in Extra-Dimensionen: Eigenschaften und Nachweis" (lit. 'Black Holes in Extra Dimensions: Properties and Proof').[2] That same year, she published an English research paper with a similar title, "Black Hole Relics in Large Extra Dimensions", in Physics Letters B.[5]

Hossenfelder remained in Germany until 2004 on a postdoctoral research position from the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt.[4] She was subsequently employed as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Arizona, Tucson, University of California, Santa Barbara, and later at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Canada. In 2009, she became an assistant professor at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Sweden.[6] Between 2015 and 2023, she was employed at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies,[citation needed] followed by a post at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich's Center for Mathematical Philosophy.[7][8][9]

But only a fucking moron would need their wiki reposted here because most people know where Google is.

I know what i am talking about.I've got a degree in Girthnomics.

If you don't trust the scientific community when it comes to climate change, then why not trust the oil companies themselves?

While I agree with you that there are food additives in American products which shouldn't be allowed, this argues in favour of European-style liberal/left wing policies with respect to government regulation, which in the US, are mainly opposed by right wingers. Are you aware of that?

None of this establishes her credentials in the field of climate change so I can understand the scepticism. Just sayin'.

@SummerStriker I'm just pointing that out for the sake of consistency. I've watched several of her videos. Some stuff rings true; other stuff is pretty meh, if not outright questionable. I didn't watch the video in the OP yet but she's not an expert on the climate, is she?

I mean... there are people who disagree with her, yes, but I don't think anyone in the scientific community thinks Sabine Hossenfelder is a "crazy kook with no credentials." She has a PhD from Frankfurt, has published a couple of books through respected publishers, and has had a number of peer reviewed papers published as well. She also has a few post-docs and has held professorships at respected universities.

I didn't say she was.

I see you didn’t use a Lego picture for this post , I’m disappointed
