The most important thing we can do against climate change is start working heavily on #GeoEngineering
Yet I don't see anyone talking about that.
It's a massive mistake; emissions reductions won't bite for another half-century or more, but #GeoEngineering works right now.

"Climate change" when even the very idea of a global average temperature is subject to manipulating procedural outcomes and the whole field is cloaked in hidden data - c'mon man.

It's not postmodern reality denial (although it works far better for climate than anything where it's actually applied) - it's that the very definition of the terms and the mapping of the data to a model is impossibly complex and that complexity has been weaponized 1/3

Two nearby stations give temperatures that are slightly different - one a few degrees warmer - how do you weight them? Do you adjust for the fact that a strip mall was built and one is now on the edge of a paved parking lot? Etc. These are all answerable questions BUT 2/3

BUT Every one of those questions is an area that's ripe for "manipulating procedural outcomes" and the field as a whole has not only no checks on that; it has incentives to *use* it to get the desired result. The data isn't even checkable because they hide it. 3/3

Postscript: The main use for "climate change" in 2020 is as a broad ill-defined thing to point to so people who don't want to openly oppose the left can vaguely say that "both sides deny science" when they're confronted with progressive lies around race and IQ and behavior etc.
