I know, I know, I& #39;m grumpy about everything, but this bugs me, this notion that science dictates what we must do about climate change, and if you just accept science, you accept the whole program. It& #39;s not so. https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1385232169468055561">https://twitter.com/POTUS/sta...
Don& #39;t get me wrong: I& #39;m super into aggressive action to address climate change, largely along the lines supported by Dems & Biden (but faster/bigger). But I don& #39;t support it because "science." I support it because I value human life & believe in the value of collective action.
When people on the left smuggle their values in under cover of "science," it (rightly!) convinces their opponents that there& #39;s some slight-of-hand at work. It& #39;s irksome, because those values are *good & worth explicitly defending*.
