For a number of years the most zealous of climate activists acted as though they didn’t need to convince anybody, because they intended to compel everybody to follow their commandments. They also acted as though those commandments were chiseled on stone tablets.
We’ve reached a turning point, where (almost) everyone realizes that the IPCC reports are not holy writ. What happens next does not really depend on skeptics or lukewarmers. It depends on the faithful.
There are climate activists writing today who are pretending Michael Mann has been exonerated (he faces further investigation next month). There are those who are saying that the IPCC reports only have a few mistakes scattered among 6,000 pages of reports. The smarter activists aren’t saying much of anything these days, waiting, as they have in the past, for things to settle down so they can pretend nothing happened at all. I don’t think that’s going to work this time, but it has in the past, so…. you can’t blame them for trying.
What the really smart activist (haven’t seen signs of one… but maybe they’re swamped by the marketing drivel their team puts out) would do right now is to say some very obvious things.
