Climate "catastrophism"--belief that climate change will result in utter disaster for both humans and Earth--has been going strong for something like 30 years. A scientist with big environmental credentials who believed this, who encouraged the fear of this kind of apocalypse, now says:
"I thought climate change would end the world. I was wrong."
Big and uncommonly humble words for someone called a hero of the environment by Time Magazine.
He still believes climate has been getting somewhat warmer, but says that it will in no way produce catastrophe, as he used to imagine. In this he is like his one-time partner, who actually wrote a book to apologize for scaring people about climate.
In this video he explains that "Climate catastrophism is a bad idea!"
