I am overwhelmed with shock at this blatant political attempt of coercion of unsuspecting public by certain class of academics who are furthest removed from realities of material production taking all their gaudy visions and hallucinations seriously. They have simply no idea what they talking about on either side, supposed justification (as they centered their argument on the most extreme end of exaggerations) or the supposed solutions.<p>Such a "manifesto" is a disgrace to the field at large and science in general. Each paragraph in succession reveals more of the ugliness, pretense, and vulgar urge for power by these self-proclaimed techno-political-semi-intellectuals.<p>I hope that more self-respecting and more self-balanced researchers from this and other fields will come forward in few days, shredding this factually wanting, and morally bankrupt nonsense to pieces, putting intellectual roadblock to such "barbarism".
This is anti-science. Science is science. Politics are politics. Science playing politics is not science, and it's this exact powerplay that turns everyone off of climate issues.
