Is There a Scientific Consensus Around Climate Change?
Yan: I think it speaks much moreto how rigorous the work has been. And that lots of scepticisms around climate change have been seriously explored and tested. That there is an additional thing which applies in climate science much morthan other fields of science, which is that it's become a big political issue. People came up with all sorts of reasons why we shouldn't believe that the humans are causing climate change. Each of these ideas came up was seriously considered by scientists and refuted. Yet, these ideas are still around now. All nothing disappears on the inner ot. Theyre what we call zombi ideas.
