His post,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/rclutz.com\/2025\/08\/14\/why-climate-doomsters-cant-recant\/\">Why Climate Alarmists Can\u2019t Recant<\/a>, is an example of his work. Clutz\u2019s recent comment at MasterResource is worth publishing here, after which I add my observations on the reasons for the futile, wasteful crusade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ted Nordhaus explained why, unlike Gates, doomsters can\u2019t recant [in his] paper:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthroughjournal.org\/p\/why-i-stopped-being-a-climate-catastrophist\">Why I Stopped Being a Climate Catastrophist<\/a>\u2026. In \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/rclutz.com\/2025\/08\/14\/why-climate-doomsters-cant-recant\/\">Why Climate Doomsters Can\u2019t Recant<\/a>,\u201d I offered [several] reasons [for] why do so many smart people, most trained as scientists, engineers, lawyers, or public policy experts, and all who will tell you, and I say this not ironically, that they \u201cbelieve in science,\u201d get the science of climate risk so badly wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first [reason] is that highly educated people with high levels of science literacy are no less likely to get basic scientific issues wrong than anyone else when the facts conflict with their social identities and ideological commitments. Yale Law Professor Dan Kahan has shown that people who are highly concerned about climate change actually have less accurate views about climate change overall than climate skeptics and that this remains true even among partisans with high levels of education and general science literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere, Kahan and others have demonstrated that on many issues, highly educated people are often more likely to stubbornly hold onto erroneous beliefs because they are more expert at defending their political views and ideological commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second reason is that if you make a living doing left of center climate and energy policy, there are strong social, political, and professional incentives to get climate risk wrong. The capture of Democratic and progressive politics by environmentalism over the last generation has been close to total. There is little tolerance on the Left for any expression of materialist politics that challenge foundational claims of the environmental movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile the climate movement has effectively conflated consensus science about the reality and anthropogenic origins of climate change with catastrophist claims about climate risk for which there is no consensus whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, there is a widespread belief that one can\u2019t make a strong case for clean energy and technological innovation absent the catastrophic specter of climate change. \u201cWhy bother with nuclear power or clean energy if climate change is not a catastrophic risk,\u201d is a frequent response. And this view simply ignores the entire history of modern energy innovation. Over the last two centuries, the world has moved inexorably from dirtier and more carbon intensive technologies to cleaner ones. Burning coal, despite its significant environmental impacts, is cleaner than burning wood and dung. Burning gas is cleaner than coal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as a practical matter, there is no evidence whatsoever that 35 years of increasingly dire rhetoric and claims about climate change have had any impact on the rate at which the global energy system has decarbonized. And by some measure, the world decarbonized faster over the 35 years prior to climate change emerging as a global concern than it did in the 35 years since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To this I can add:&nbsp;<em>Natural scientists do not understand economics (opportunity cost) well and have political biases toward Statism, which is the great employer of experts as \u201cthe smartest guys in the room<\/em>\u201c.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/capitalismmagazine.com\/2021\/04\/inside-the-church-of-climate\/\">Deep Ecology<\/a>&nbsp;reigns high: the belief that Nature (capital N) is optimal and fragile. So any human interference cannot be good, only bad or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not true! As Alex Epstein memorably put it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe popular climate discussion \u2026 looks at man as a destructive force for climate livability \u2026 because we use fossil fuels. In fact, the truth is the exact opposite; we don\u2019t take a safe climate and make it dangerous; we take a dangerous climate and make it safe. High-energy civilization, not climate, is the driver of climate livability.\u201d (-&nbsp;<em>The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels<\/em>, pp. 126\u2013127)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>[1]<\/strong>&nbsp;Ron Clutz has more than 30 years experience leading projects analyzing and transforming organizational processes and structures.
