Co-infection by De-nihilism

Just as viral pandemics can spawn dangerous secondary bacterial infections, the climate pandemic has been co-infected by “de-nihilists.” They are so named because of their nihilistic rejection of established science and their destructiveness.

They are by no means a major percentage of the population. One survey found only about 9% of respondents are “dismissive” of global heating.1198 However, their disinformation campaigns have warped media coverage and hindered progress toward effective legislation.

Irrationally, de-nihilists manage to hold two contradictory beliefs without suffering the pangs of cognitive dissonance: On the one hand, they are perfectly willing to accept the science of meteorology and weather forecasting. But on the other, they reject climate science and climate projections—even though both meteorology and climate science arise from the same fundamental geophysical principles and use the same scientific methodology.

The massive research effort to understand climate disruption shows how illegitimate is de-nihilists’ dismissal of climate science:

Tens of thousands of scientists have traveled the globe on field expeditions and gathered input from millions of sensors and instruments to compile many libraries’ worth of scientific data.

Over many decades, they have published their analyses of those data in thousands of detailed scientific papers, critiqued those papers, and debated their conclusions.

They have used this vast store of knowledge to create an unequivocal picture revealing that climate disruption and global heating are human-caused and extremely dangerous.

They have worked continuously to fill in missing elements of this picture. When findings turn out to be wrong, climate scientists gather still more data to refine or correct them.
