""The good news is that, unlike reindeer and songbirds, we humans are blessed with the capacity for advanced reasoning and therefore the ability to adapt more deliberately – to change old patterns of behaviour with remarkable speed. If the ideas that rule our culture are stopping us from saving ourselves, then it is within our power to change those ideas. But before that can happen, we first need to understand the nature of our personal climate mismatch.""

To assert this when his argument concerning climate change, hasn't been discussed is self contradicting.  The climate is changing, and always has been.  The adaptation to this change is more complex than indicated.

The mismatch is science versus dogma. Both sides think the other side is using dogma.

No prudent person would allow the proposed course, without further study.
