“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been
bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the Bamboozle.
We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The Bamboozle has
captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge – even to ourselves
– that we’ve been so credulous.”
-Carl Sagan
This describes the current climate change hysteria in the world to perfection. Scientists that have made their careers by warning of impending doom if we don't stop climate change, as if that were possible, are so entrenched in their myth that they have deluded themselves into discounting any contrary evidence and allowed the emotions of their politics to lead them into dark alleys.
Kudos to James Lovelock for turning around and walking back into the light. He is a real scientist.
Don't expect it of Michael Mann whose arrogance blinds him to reality. He admits only confirming instances of reality and ignores all instances of cognitive dissonance. That is not how science is done.
