On Doubt by Leigh Sales

4.0

Sales is hyper-intelligent and a great writer, so I loved most of this. However, I really grated on the section praising climate change skepticism. Yes, this essay was written in 2009, and the 2017 epilogue makes it clear that Sales now believes that climate change isn't an issue with 'two equal sides', which is great. But the science behind climate change was as definitive in 2009 as it is today, if more distant. We'll never get back the 10+ years that we've lost because of influential centrists like Leigh Sales encouraging 'healthy climate change skepticism'. As a 2019 reader, I found it very disappointing.
