Forbes Censors Award-Winning Environmentalist's Apology Over Three-Decade 'Climate Scare' - So Here It Is

Post by Alexander »

Schellenberger, a progressive, was named one of TIME's "Heroes of the Environment," while his book Break Through was heralded by WIRED as potentially "the best thing to happen to environmentalism since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring."

His book Apocalypse Never was widely praised as an 'eye-opening, fact-based approach' to climate science and 'engaging and well-researched.'

Now that he's apologized for three-decades of climate alarmism, Forbes has now blocked Shellenberger's article without explanation.


From the article:

Here are some facts few people know:

• ⁠Humans are not causing a “sixth mass extinction” 
• ⁠The Amazon is not “the lungs of the world”
• ⁠Climate change is not making natural disasters worse
• ⁠Fires have declined 25% around the world since 2003
• ⁠The amount of land we use for meat — humankind’s biggest use of land — has declined by an area nearly as large as Alaska
• ⁠The build-up of wood fuel and more houses near forests, not climate change, explain why there are more, and more dangerous, fires in Australia and California
• ⁠Carbon emissions are declining in most rich nations and have been declining in Britain, Germany, and France since the mid-1970s 
• ⁠Adapting to life below sea level made the Netherlands rich not poor
• ⁠We produce 25% more food than we need and food surpluses will continue to rise as the world gets hotter
• ⁠Habitat loss and the direct killing of wild animals are bigger threats to species than climate change
• ⁠Wood fuel is far worse for people and wildlife than fossil fuels
• ⁠Preventing future pandemics requires more not less “industrial” agriculture
