Very good article. I’ve seen the video from Sabine Hossenfelder rencently, which is under attack in this video. She cautioned to not ignore the hot models, which are currently percepted as unreliable.

Still, I recommend watching Sabine Hossenfelder if you are interested in simple physics explanations, she has a great Youtube channel.

Sabine Hossenfelder is a theoretical quantum physicist and does mostly videos related to her field. She also does some climate videos and I don’t doubt her ability to interpret the numbers. Fun fact, she also does some physics related 80’s style music.

James Hansen is also critisized in this article for his controversial predictions, which we shouldn’t take lightly. It’s not like we’ve got a second chance.

I liked the conclusion a lot, that we shouldn’t get distracted by controversies in the details and that it practically makes little difference if the future is very deadly or extremely deadly.

Edit a few months later: I don’t recommend watching Dabine Hossenfelder to get news about the climate anymore. I’ve seen some more videos of her now and while they aren’t bad, they seem to miss important points sometimes and also she sometimes advocates weird things. Just take her climate videos with a salt of grain, maybe.
