Assume that climate change is a true problem (as I do) and that we’d like to do something about it (as I do). The question then becomes what should we do?
…
I’ve long said that there is indeed a climate change conspiracy. But it isn’t about its existence, not about the science at all. It’s about what is the correct response to that science.
Introduce “the politics of climate science”, and I would suggest we are getting warmer.

Time to shackle the winds and arrest the volcanoes, it seems.
More seriously, there are extremophiles which quite happily munch arsenic, lead, antimony, and all sorts of pollutants. We haven’t even scratched the surface of the possibilities for biological clean-up yet.

If the researcher is paid to keep quiet by the windfarms, then it’s the equivalent of the legendary scientist who developed a 50c pill to add to water, making petrol thereby. Patent sold to Esso, he lived in luxury of course.
