Waiting up late to make an appearance on CNN International so I made a little TikTok about a climate study that genuinely shook me today.

how do you judge the credibility of an individual study like this? it seems like you could find quite a few catastrophic predictions from the past that were taken as fact when they were published

i fear that many of these are irrevocably broken

strong belief in them in theory, but the whole pipeline is so politicized that i have doubts that many people have the context to fully assess studies like this anymore

hate to "both sides" you, but there are structural incentives on both sides that lead to a whole lot of nonsense being presented as objective truth. and there are legitimate societal costs to doomerism

the only correct answer imo is deep government and private investment  in nuclear, carbon capture and a select variety of other technologies

This article is about individual linguistic exaggerations. They shouldn't be confused with large scientific consensus. 
Once again the quality of the process in the research of truth matters. 
I recommend reading by oneself, at least once, an IPCC report, in order to have a more solid understanding of the science here  https://www.ipcc.ch/reports/

Isn't it denying the validity of science that is the most politicized view right now ? 
 
I have been following climate science for 25 years. I can tell you that at the beginning no politician gave a shit. (It was actually the issue)
Yet the facts were there. And they confirmed again and again over time. 

It reminds me of the tobacco industry. The instilled doubt on the facts that it was bad for health during decades. 
Doubt is the tactic here too.

It's not a surprise that you don't know what to believe anymore.
