It's finally time to tackle climate change denial. There are so many frauds peddling disinformation in this realm, so who should we tackle? The answer is Matt Ridley. He is the poster boy for "lukewarmism", which is a version of climate change denial that accepts some science surrounding this topic but denies other science, which makes it very dangerous, since it appears rational and science-based to the untrained ear.
It's kind of like intelligent design, if young earth creationism is equivalent to an outright denial that global warming is happening at all. Matt is a super rich coal man who peddles a well-crafted script of lies regarding anthropogenic global warming, the amount of warming that has occurred, the amount that is projected to occur, and how dangerous it is.
Let's get way into the weeds and debunk all of his claims as thoroughly as humanly possible, so that everyone will be equipped to combat this propaganda wherever they find it. - Professor Dave Explains
