Shellenberger is a grifter. You can just read the paper https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15230430.2022.2...

Shellenberger is more of a PR/grifter person than a scientist. Presumably if he was a scientist he’d have read this and other papers that somewhat convincingly indicate that, well, he’s spewing nonsense.

Better to evaluate the arguments. But if you have limited time or resources I do agree it’s a heuristic for allocating your attention. I just dont think it’s an a reason to shut down debate.

I love clickbait behind a paywall. “Here is the most important news everyone on earth needs to KNOW about a scam the world has spent trillions on in the past 30 years!!!!!!!!
