Very important if true, but frankly I’m skeptical. The stuff about state-owned companies is very plausible, but the idea that the IPCC report and such *don’t* predict a catastrophe, not so much. We have scientists talking about a nonzero chance of human extinction before 2100 (not that I personally buy that, but I’m not a scientist either), and this guy expects us to believe that even the worst-case scenario still predicts *continued economic growth*?
It’s such a well-written and cogent article that I’m hesitant to just dismiss it, but I do have to wonder if it might be exactly what its title promises.
EDIT: I looked up [the author](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Heath?wprov=sfti1). He’s a philosophy professor at U of T. So on the one hand he’s a real academic, but on the other hand so is Jordan Peterson. Who knows.
