RE: Turbidites and Treefall Gaps: Rejecting A Newtonian View of Nature

in #steemstem7 years ago

Hi - to give you something to chew on besides spam - the guy in this video offers another very nice criticism of the scientific worldview you talk about above:

Where do you stand on global warming btw? If what you say is true, then I guess it doesn't matter what we do, as there's no way of telling how nature's going to react to it!

Sort:  

...If that's the lesson you took out of my post, either you badly misinterpeted it or I wrote it very poorly. I'm criticising a 150 year old approach to science that is very, very different than today's approaches. We can, in fact, predict how nature will respond to what we do, because we treat it as a complex system, rather than as a clockwork mechanism.

And as for climate change, I'm in school for geology. You're not going to find many more staunch defenders of the science behind climate change, nor people more dedicated to fighting climate change.
