Like I’ve said before, everything I’m posting is from NASA (the actual climate science part), CSIRO, the IPCC, the world’s leading scientific universities and institutes. According to your standards you must accept that they too are on the extreme end of the the climate spectrum too. You must accept a vast majority of climate scientists are, in your words, “extremists”.
The letter is suggesting that NASA not go to the extreme end of the spectrum and risk damaging their reputation. It does not suggest that climate science is false but that the extreme predictions are not substantiated.
There’s zero hard data or evidence in that letter. They reference zero peer reviewed studies. They do not give the name of one credible climate science who backs up their position. The actual climate scientists made their conclusions and those on the letter dispute them, so in fact they are denying climate science, as hard as they want to argue they are not deniers or skeptics.
It’s playing politics actually. No mention of how one of the leading authors of the letter, Harrison Schmitt, was a hardcore Republican politician, a party known for some pretty serious denial of science (if you want to see how much look at a bill Republicans in Ohio are trying to introduce regarding ectopic pregnancies and abortion - beggars belief).
They may be upset that funds going to climate research in their belief should go to space exploration? Whatever it is, it’s not because NASA is on the “extreme” of the climate change debate, there are groups advocating climate action to a greater extent than they are. The extreme position is those who don’t believe in the science, as was posted earlier in this thread 89% of Australians understanding human climate change, only 10% are doubters. Even that last figure in a way isn’t mecessary, all that matters is that 97% of the only experts who matter, climate scientists, support the science.
I hate to sound like a broken record but these are basic facts.
To deny the science you either have to accept all of these scientists and researchers, tens of thousands across the world, are either one of two things:
Grossly incompetent to an extent never seen before in history or
Engaged in a huge, worldwide conspiracy on a scale never seen before in history to promote a fake situation for their own nefarious reasons.
