Well worth a read. Not because of the content - it's total horseshit - but because it's a prime example of what happens when you mix anti-science, conspiracism, arrogance, and a total lack of expertise. Maybe one day NYT OpEds will engage with the actual science 🤷‍♂️. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/o...
