The 26% who bucked the AGW dogma were brave souls indeed.Are you accusing me or the economists in the subject survey of being Gaia cultists? On what would that be based? And you seem to ignore the predictions of global warming deniers; that global warming would stop or reverse. Global temperatures are still increasing. The world's ice and snow are still melting and the level of the world's oceans continues to rise.
First off, global temperatures are not increasing.
Why did Earthâs surface temperature stop rising in the past decade?
The most likely explanation for the lack of significant warming at the Earth’s surface in the past decade or so is that natural climate cycles caused shifts in ocean circulation patterns that moved some excess heat into the deep ocean.www.climate.gov
You are most definitely a Gaia cultist.
As for your vaunted economists, the reality is they are bowing to peer pressure for conformity. I've spent over a decade in higher education, a BS in MIS, then an MBA, and finally an Sc.D. in SCM. Where disciplines such as medicine, engineering, mathematics, or my own logistics all have practical applications in the real world, those with an economics degree have but one avenue, to teach.
Economists are at the mercy of academia to survive. As an under grad and then a graduate student, I too was at the mercy of the nutbag fascists of academia. You chant the mantras of the cult to survive. The 26% who bucked the AGW dogma were brave souls indeed. The fascists allow no deviance from the theological canon of the cult. The cult is simply too lucrative for academia to allow anyone to upset the apple cart.
Thing is, once I earned my MBA, I no longer had to bow to the priests and shamans of the cult. Doctoral programs are different, all that matters is the research project, there are no professors to earn a grade from. Once awarded my doctorate, I continued in the private sector, as that is where production systems are utilized.
But economists must beg the universities for work. Higher education is the most fascist environment in history, hence they either profess faith in the cult or they will be canceled, regardless of tenure.
As far as we know, this "75% of economists" could well be as self-selected as the fake "94% of scientists" number the hoaxers are always tossing around.
