Oddbean new post about login | logout I’m not the one who is all over the place. You are. This is exactly what I expect from someone who thinks science isn’t real, and it’s why I try to avoid having these conversations in the first place. Also my scientist wife can read these notes and she thinks it’s amusing that someone thinks I can be easily indoctrinated, and wonders why I can’t also be indoctrinated to make the bed and empty the dishwasher in the morning.
Believe it or not China is not ignoring it. It’s actually common knowledge it’s doing more with renewable energy than most people realise. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/29/china-wind-solar-power-global-renewable-energy-leader
Interestingly they aren't reducing the amount of energy they use per person though. And they are increasing fossil fuel usage even with the renewables when you look at the data. The UK however is reducing energy per person, still with high reliance on fossil fuel. No wonder our energy bills are sky high here. https://ourworldindata.org/energy/country/china https://ourworldindata.org/energy/country/united-kingdom
This is pretty funny mate. Haven’t heard the old “This is exactly what I expect from someone who thinks science isn’t real” since the heady days of Covid. As I recall it was a favourite refrain of those who demanded people wear masks, stay at home, and get experimental vaccines else you wanted grannies to die. After all, all The Experts™️ agreed on The Science™️ When that’s your line of argument, and you can’t steelman your opposition, you really ought consider if your argument is rock solid or is in fact just a castle made of sand.
