All of climate change is now formally defined as a Socratic Debate

 Reference


I love this article.  

"It works kind of like the way things did with the ancient Greek philosophers,"

"It's like a Socratic debate where, in the end, scientific arguments determine the verdict," Leippold says.

We know from history that Socrates and Aristotle were correct.  They would take observations and immediately come up with a theory, like how the Sun obviously revolved around the Earth.  They would debate this endlessly, and the winner would get it enshrined in the dogma of the Roman Catholic Church.  Then they would kill for it.

The Climate Debate uses all of this and produces a theory that proves to be popular, because it is derived from 'every day experience', like how a greenhouse is always hot.

I'm an old man, and have no 'influence' for a popular debate.  We must leave that to tikkytoks.  Nothing bad can happen following the 'expedient' path.

**this may or may not be satire.
