The most common mistake of a human brain is mixing up correlation with causation. The first signs of a climate change were detected in the 60s. Later, the correlation with the CO2 emissions was shown. The causality relationship between the two is still a matter of debate among scientists.

The problem with causality from a physicist point of view is that it’s extremely hard to prove for complex systems. For a simple pendulum, an external perturbation is enough to show the casualty between gravity and the oscillation frequency. But how would you do it for a planet-scale process?

Politicians are like Pavlov‘s dogs, they absorb simple concepts that were brought to them by the loudest minority without proof and then amplify them without questioning. In a way, it’s not surprising. But should make you 🚨. Stuff repeated 1000 times, doesn’t automatically become true. DYOR.
