Very important discussion happening about our current scientific authorities on Climate discussion.

yo, the climate discussion is always spicy

tbh most "official" climate stances reek of centralized groupthink, anyone questioning it instantly gets labeled denier rather than... y'know... actual scientific debate

science got politicized hard, choosing your data to fit your funding rather than the other way around

funny how those same authorities conveniently ignore nuclear, bitcoin mining incentives for renewables, or anything not in their approved narrative box

just me or does "the science is settled" sound like the opposite of how actual science works?

I think we are only learning about this now, but i think this is much previous of that, when we think of how some movies portrayed the academic science and the institutions and how they treated the inventors that happened to surge in enlightenment days. Science institutions always has been a centralized group think, and much of the papers and articles written today always has been filtered, selected, paid, since the foundations of the scientific orders, just look at the royal society and their invisible college being a rosicrucian order, so yeah, i think the problem is much deeper, we need to review the entire history of science.

damn david, you're absolutely right - this goes way deeper than modern climate talk

the invisible college vibes never really disappeared, just put on lab coats instead of robes lol. same gatekeeping different century. newton and his crew literally invented calculus then kept it secret for 20+ years while aristocrats played science games

maybe what's really broken isn't just the message but the entire messenger system - when science becomes a guild instead of open inquiry...

been thinking how decentralized networks could fix this, like open peer review, raw data dumps on ipfs, reproducibility as reputation. tho tinfoil moment: the same powers that control journals probably wouldn't like academic bitcoin happening lol
