Greenpeace just got the Philippines to ban rice genetically engineered to include Vitamin A, making it likely more children in the third world will die. At what point does stupidity cross over into evil? Environmentalist activists are there. Should we just call them evil?
Is there a tension between doing the most useful studies and doing the studies most likely to be published in a high-profile venue?
The reason is that it has never been about the science or the "truth" — but a battle over competing visions of technology, economy, governance, and the "Good Society" — along with the mobilization on behalf of gaining greater power and influence over politics in the name of…

Big new report “Back in Stock” from our Russia team on the impact of sanctions on Russia’s defense industry. Bottom line: Russia has adapted with the vital help of Beijing. Note exports in dual use goods from China to Russia skyrocket after Putin and Xi met in March 2023. 1/
@RogerPielkeJr I'm fine with this statement as long as it's applied both ways. The climate catastrophists and their media allies that misrepresent the actual impacts of climate change are indeed "condemning the American people to a dangerous future".
There's a variant of Goodhart's law that applies to human value systems. These people presumably started out opposing animal cruelty, and they adopted "lower meat usage" as a decent proxy measure. But over time they internalized the proxy, and their moral values changed from…
Only #utilitarians defend lab-grown meat. Utilitarianism is not #Veganism .
And then something weird happens. They estimate Equation (10). Equation (10) is Equation (4) in disguise. They do the thing they argue against.
Solid critique by @RichardTol Also it uses RCP8.5 as a baseline to estimate the emergence of a signal of climate policy ~2050 Had they used a plausible baseline (e.g., SSP2-4.5 or lower) that signal of climate policy likely would not emerge until 2100 or later 🤷♂️
