Jensen Huang lays out his plan to create a digital earth model to forecast climate in this press conference. If it’s successful in predicting climate and weather patterns accurately, do you think it’ll be enough evidence to convince climate deniers?

do you think it’ll be enough evidence to convince

No, nothing ever will

You cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into

I disagree on the nothing. Studies on changing people’s minds suggest that if leadership of the sect change the group changes.

So if you’re caught up on the latest Marvel Disney show we have a path!

I don’t think evidence based arguments are what they are waiting for.

Do not ask, “Is climate change real?”

Ask instead, “If you are a shareholder in an insurance company, do you want that insurance company to be writing homeowners insurance policies for waterfront properties in Florida?”

Snarky answer: “yes, and when there’s another hurricane the insurance can just claim bankruptcy and pass the bailout costs to taxpayers.”

With stuff like “act of god” clauses and limited liability bankruptcies it might not really bother them that much.

they will never be convinced, people who deny climate change at this point aren’t going to be convinced by evidence
