He does claim to be an economist while his primary degree is in engineering.
That's fine with me as long as it is acknowledged, and it can be argued mainstream economics is riddled with fiat propaganda orthodoxy enforced by bankers.
However are you denying the massive disinformation campaign engaged by fossil fuel industry lobbyists to sow doubt and in any way possible obfuscate the issue?
I think the propaganda at this point is so insanely tilted towards the climate catastrophe folks, I would welcome a little propaganda on the other side. I can't say I've ever heard anything from the oil industry, whereas the climate catastrophe folks on on the front page every day with their narrative.
I realize I gave you 4 podcast links above, that's too many. If I were to choose just one, I'd pick this one: https://saifedean.com/podcast/139-fossil-future-with-alex-epstein. Alex Epstein also has a website (https://energytalkingpoints.com/) which is fantastic.

Another one Solomonsatoshi might enjoy is https://saifedean.com/podcast/80-government-funding-of-science-with-terence-kealey. Very good discussion on private vs public science.

Why after watching so many Saifedeans podcasts can't you compose a cogent fact based argument of your own without deferring to the words of others?
I'm here for a contest of ideas which can be read and judged by all observers without reference to third parties/platforms supposed authorities as that does not represent a valid sequential contest of ideas on this platform.

The last 10000 years has seen some of the most stable weather earth has known and the ratio of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was also very stable- until the last 100 years.
Where was solar activity over the last 10000 years during this stable period that saw the rise of agriculture, human settlements and civilisation?
It is folly to ignore our vulnerability to changes in the ecosystem despite so many of us now living far from direct daily experience of nature.

I suggest you stop believing the propaganda of fossil fuel sponsored proxies and take a look at the solid science both public and private funded that shows the planet is headed for one hell of an environmental, economic political and societal shit storm if we do not act very soon.
