Several years ago an acquaintance of mine regarded Eloon Musk as a climate champion, and she invested a sizable chunk of her nest egg in Tesla. Since then she has moved her money elsewhere.
Today Musk identified himself as a militant climate denier. By retweeting a prominent climate charlatan (who has no scientific expertise at all in climatology) attack on biologist Paul Ehrlich, who was featured the 60 Minutes piece on mass extinction, driven by climate change
Some of you may have read my diary on the 60 Minutes story: A 60 Minutes story you need to see- 'Scientists: Earth in midst of sixth mass extinction'
Instead of focusing on the drastic increase in mass extinctions, this Climate Quack, Michael Shellenberger focuses on one study from the 1977 predicting global cooling, and Paul Ehrlich’s citing it in an erroneous projection 46 years ago. Climatology has come a long way since 1977, as have most fields of scientific exploration. Global cooling never became the scientific consensus in 1977.
Can you imagine a doctor using an article in a medical journal from 1977 as the best available information for treating patients in 2023? He would be sued for malpractice.
Obviously Eloon Musk is no climatologist or even a physicist (as he has claimed). Eloon is a fan of random Conspiracy Theories he comes across on Twitter. In October Eloon Musk showed us he may even be a QAonon Nut by retweeting a preposterous smear of Paul Pelosi.
