The problem is one of generations. Science goes out, problems are seen, but it takes a generational change for them to evolve or change.
Science doesn't turn on a dime, but on a generation. Max Plank said:
My position was and is correct, the problem is the generation hasn't caught up yet. People on here think just as Michael Mann did, based on his evidence actually, and he IS a leading climate scientist. That doesn't mean I am anti-science, quite the opposite, I just pivoted early. Mann and others are pivoting now. If anybody here would need to change their position, it wouldn't need to be me.
