Climate scientist Judith Curry warned that “genuine” climate experts are a shrinking group while alarmists are “exploding” and taking over the mainstream narrative on climate change issues.
There are “three categories” of climate experts, Ms. Curry said in an Oct. 3 interview with media personality John Stossel. “One is people who are fluent in reciting IPCC talking points,” she said. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate (IPCC) is a United Nations body that assesses “science related to climate change.” As an example of a category one “expert,” Ms. Curry cited mechanical engineer Bill Nye, who, back in 2019, said “The planet’s on [...] fire!” People like Mr. Nye “can talk about this stuff, but he doesn’t have really any real understanding,” Ms. Curry said.
