Why scientists aren't more persuasive
Why scientists aren't more persuasive? Perhaps because we are not convinced.
I am a environmental toxicologist rather than a climate scientist, but I have looked at the climate data. They are good but not great.
There is certainly a secular warming trend but the CO2 hypothesis as the cause is just not that good. The data are not bad, just not good enough for phrases like "the debate is over".
Irregardless of how dire the ramifications, the job of scientists is not to advocate. We report. That's it.
