They're largely led along by their paranoid biases, as much on pandemic origins as on other topics.
For example, that's why they fell for an obvious transphobic hoax that suited their prejudices.

Thank you for pointing it out, and for providing an infilled analysis before that pre-print came out.
Hopefully that + uncertainty estimates are enough for inclusion in IPCC AR7.
Does anyone know if @micefearboggis.bsky.social was updated on this?

In retrospect, I should have asked for a comparison relative to 1850-1900 for DCENT or infilled DCENT from @brucettcalvert.bsky.social.

Yup. That's true on climatology, virology, infectious disease epidemiology, nutritional epidemiology, etc.

It is helpful, thank you. I should have clarified why I asked for 1850-1900. My mistake.
It was to compare to the pre-industrial baseline used in the Paris agreement, as you likely know:
climate.copernicus.eu/climate-indi...
But I think this works.

Sorry to bug you, and feel free to ignore this request if you don't have time.
Is it possible to get a version of this graph where the y-axis is relative to the pre-industrial baselines of 1850-1900?
Likely not since GISTEMP only goes back to 1880?

Some central problems with Ridley's lukewarmism:
1) underestimating warming + sea level rise acceleration
2) dangerous warming happens decades earlier than lukewarmism predicts
