Factual vs. Factual Completeness in Climate Change Discussion
In discussing climate change, it is emphasized that being completely factual and factually complete is crucial. While it is possible to be completely factual with the information available, achieving factual completeness is challenging due to the vast amount of data. The speaker highlights that in the past, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have been significantly higher than today, reaching 20 times the current amount during the Mesozoic era when dinosaurs roamed the earth. This period was characterized by large plants, huge leaves, and overall good health of the planet, marking a greenhouse time with warmer temperatures.
