The Tragedy of Climate Change Science

This week I'm joined by https://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/expertise/profile.cfm?stref=664630 (Bruce Glavovic), https://www.waikato.ac.nz/fass/about/staff/iainw (Iain White), and https://www.usc.edu.au/staff/professor-tim-smith (Tim Smith) to discuss their recent article "https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17565529.2021.2008855 (The Tragedy of Climate Science)." In the article, these three climate scientists point out the obvious: climate scientists keep making increasingly dire predictions, and politicians keep doing nothing. In https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02990-w (a recent survey), a majority of climate scientists expect catastrophic global warming to occur despite all their work. So why keep doing it? Maybe it's time for the climate scientists to stop doing science as usual, and start doing scientific activism.
