"Hannah Ritchie: ‘Doomsday predictions are a dream for climate deniers’"

I applaud this young data scientist's techno-realism and advocacy for evidence-based policy making, but there is great value in behavioural and systemic change, even in the shorter term.

There is also the role of (evidence-based) alarmism in climate messaging. This has surely stimulated positive popular reaction to environmental problems.
