Больше каминг-аутов богу каминг-аутов! :) Но в этот раз не про меня. Про Майкла Шелленбергера.
Если кратко, то это эколог, который считает, что слухи об экологическом апокалипсисе немного преувеличены.
On behalf of environmentalists everywhere, I would like to formally apologize for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years. Climate change is happening. It’s just not the end of the world. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem.
I may seem like a strange person to be saying all of this. I have been a climate activist for 20 years and an environmentalist for 30.
But as an energy expert asked by Congress to provide objective expert testimony, and invited by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to serve as Expert Reviewer of its next Assessment Report, I feel an obligation to apologize for how badly we environmentalists have misled the public.
.....
But until last year, I mostly avoided speaking out against the climate scare. Partly that’s because I was embarrassed. After all, I am as guilty of alarmism as any other environmentalist. For years, I referred to climate change as an “existential” threat to human civilization, and called it a “crisis.”
But mostly I was scared. I remained quiet about the climate disinformation campaign because I was afraid of losing friends and funding. The few times I summoned the courage to defend climate science from those who misrepresent it I suffered harsh consequences. And so I mostly stood by and did next to nothing as my fellow environmentalists terrified the public.

Он по этому поводу написал целую книжку https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063001691
Но мне пока лень её покупать и читать.
Тут про неё говорят https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG15on1PS9g
На русском про его взгляды можно почитать например тут https://trends.rbc.ru/trends/green/5e85d7a79a7947f22fd163e6
В общем, интересно.
