@ChMadar Conclusion: Your thoughts on this Twitterstream reply?
@FabiusMaximus01 You've given me food for thought! Agree w/ you re foolish 70s alarmism on population & enviro–but was it Left alarmism?
@ChMadar Even today both Left & Right rely on fear, but of different kinds, held as tribal truths. Skepticism = heresy or apostasy.
@FabiusMaximus01 Malthusianism splits both Left & Right... both Marx & Julian Simon anti-Malthusian...
@ChMadar Marx died a long time ago. Modern Left is quite different, much of which Marx would abhor. Large Nietzsche component.
@FabiusMaximus01 Yes... but are still anti-Malthusian lefties, like late Alex Cockburn. My 1st @TheNation article was anti-Malthus polemic.
@FabiusMaximus01 Though certainly true that much of broad liberal, espesh cultural but only slackly political liberals, are alarmist on pop
@ChMadar It's a feature not a bug of both Left & Right. Current system makes heroes of people like Paul Ehrlich, no mater how often wrong.
@ChMadar 6/ Fun debunk of Obama's claims a/ Exit glacier, conflates 2 centuries of warming w/ our effect since WW2: http://www.climatechangedispatch.com/global-warming-update-obama-seeks-to-still-the-glaciers-of-alaska.html …
@ChMadar Example: calling the IPCC's likely worst case scenario (RCP8.5) the "business as usual" scenario:http://fabiusmaximus.com/2015/07/13/coal-climate-apocalypse-87192/ …
@ChMadar Pollution, famine, population growth in 1970s. Calling IPCC "too conservative" now, w/ poorly sourced extreme forecasts of doom.
@ChMadar I posted my thoughts about our new America. Experience says both sides will hate it; each is Truth & Virtue.http://fabiusmaximus.com/2015/09/03/america-politics-as-a-parade-of-lies-89165/ …
@ChMadar 3b/ 30,000 species go extinct every year! That's 2 orders of magnitude exaggeration. http://fabiusmaximus.com/2015/08/28/species-extinctiondanger-88489/ …pic.twitter.com/j4GSCmKLWt
@ChMadar 5/ Left correctly debunks Right. And vice versa. Neither sees own tribe's lies. Tribe over truth. Keeps us divided & weak.
@ChMadar 4/ Cost of 70 years of fear barrages: loss of our confidence in our institutions. Makes us weak. http://fabiusmaximus.com/2014/06/21/gallup-confidence-in-institutions-america-69308/ … @FearDept
@ChMadar 3/ Contradicting what IPCC says about risk of methane, writing about the "methane monster"http://fabiusmaximus.com/2015/08/20/ipcc-defeats-the-methane-monster-apocalypse-88620/ …
@ChMadar 2/ Exaggerating likelihood & magnitude of sea level rise - "flooded cities" - far beyond IPCC forecasts.
