I don't think they'd be a fucking hero. They'd be hung by the media, strangled by the academic peers and rejected by the society.

Most science works fine, this is one area where it is quite deranged.

I agree completely.

I disagree completely. The old saying, "science advances one funeral at a time" is still as true today as when it was coined.

If what climate scientists are saying is true, then there's every reason to be deranged about it.

The bonus is that there's so many other wins from transitioning away from fossil fuels.
