thoughts during the flood season in Central Europe


I heard a Czech TV commentator ask:  but  [Here insert the name of a neo-liberal economist and locally influential politician] says that it is dangerous to talk of Anthropocentric Global Warming..........

And the responsible scientist being interviewed did not respond directly (or so I thought).... or not as directly as he might have..

He did not say, e.g., that those who deny anthropocentric global warming are either fools or knaves..........

And noticing the floods, I find myself thinking:  maybe it is dangerous to ignore the fact that human activity has caused climate change............

And the Yankee Gringo also thinks that if someone is supposed to be a scientist---even a social scientist, or economist---but is incapable of understanding the evidence for anthropogenic global warming.....well, maybe they're no scientist at all, and maybe that must goes to show that their kind of economics itself doesn't amount to real science...........
