I can find an anecdotal scientist or study to confirm a contrarian take on any topic. That's why we consider all data broadly, collect, collate, and develop a mosaic of intelligence, so we have a collectively smarter and more intelligent picture. We really don't need climate crisis narratives to help depopulation along. We've been through several iterations of this shit in an unbroken line: Abortion was a depopulation conspiracy, homosexuality was, chlorine in tapwater was, chemtrails were, 5G is, vaccines are... It gets tiring seeing golden oldies re-packaged.
What's annoying is that the world now provides all the ammo anyone could require to make bullshit truthful-seeming arguments that a non-expert can't pick apart; and there's really a massive difference in what you do when you're trying to understand the truth, vs trying to defend your tribe.
Even at the highest academic strata this is a challenge, even about non-politicized topics (e.g., that thing about academic battles being so vicious because the stakes are so small.) Once you add in real stakes, look out.
