      Sadly, @JonahNRO's article on climate science reminded me of articles by antivaxers on vaccines. It used the same techniques off exaggerating uncertainty.

      Jonah is a concern troll casting doubt and hoping to lead to inaction that might damage his buddies’ vast fortunes.

      That's not the impression I get from reading his article. He uses quite a few denialist tropes to appear "reasonable" while condemning Max for being too strident. Classic denialist tactics. I've seen them used by antivaxers and creationists.

      Yep, the "needs more research" trope was a favorite of the tobacco industry.

      "Needs more research" is also a trope for cold fusion, cancer treatment(s), embryonic stem cell therapy, and countless other things. You're also mixing categories. I said solutions to climate change need more research, not its existence.

      Replying to @JonahDispatch @JonahNro and

      No, we know the solutions, and passed by opportunities to implement them for decades - making future action more costly. This is a delaying tactic to avoid the libertarian horror of...gasp...regulations, taxes and commitment to international cooperation for carbon reduction.

      You speak as if @gorskon, @MichaelEMann etc. haven’t seen this grudging shift from denial to “lukewarmer” a billion times before.

      Additional delay for “more research”, besides being a trope in this case is a plan we *know* will exponentially amplify the hurt when we do finally, inevitably address the problem due to persistence of the GHGs. Future remediation ramps, painfully, the more we delay.

      Also, no matter how much "more research" is done, the "needs more research" trope is never satisfied. Those using the trope will always say more research is needed, no matter how clear existing research is about what needs to be done to attack a problem.
