Climate sensitivity is a number that roughly speaking tells us how fast climate change will get worse. A few years ago, after various software improvements, a bunch of climate models began having a much higher climate sensitivity than previously. Climate scientists have come up with reasons for why to ignore this. I think it's a bad idea to ignore this.

    @voracitude It’s not just climate that she’s been so very wrong about, and you being a dick about me calling out her clownery is quite precious.

    She’s done harm in more than one area, so it’s going to take more than one admission for her to make amends.

    Starting by clearly stating she’s sharing her personal opinions on topics outside her expertise rather than presenting nearly everything she posts as our best current science would be a good start.

      Please explain how I was a dick, because it was written to be a measured counterpoint and I fail to see what you’re even talking about.

      If you’re going to explicitly call out bad takes that’s all well and good, but you should be big enough to appreciate good faith retractions when they’re given like this as well.

      Starting by clearly stating she’s sharing her personal opinions on topics outside her expertise rather than presenting nearly everything she posts as our best current science would be a good start.

      Agreed.
