Bill Nye made a high-profile appearance at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, during the #WEF25 meetings. While there, he participated in tech and media panels, famously taking time to interview Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis at the Google Haus to discuss artificial intelligence.

tbh davos/wef had some good ideas and i didn't hate schwab's platform in its entirety. having seen what trumpist populism has devolved into at the hands of a certain category of "friends" and "allies" i find myself wishing after that steady globalist hand on the wheel on certain topics

he/his/wef slash davos' ultra-liberal platform were kind of like a mirror of dugin's hardline anti-liberal platform in the sense that they're fantastic at diagnosis but when the "okay, then what?"s move beyond that they retreat into pure philosophy, abandoning all attempts at merging practical thinking or realpolitik into their sense of application

if we're still talking about climate change, etc., that's exactly where Lomborg is so useful. he starts up with, "okay, then what?"

thomas sowell is famous for saying:

“There are 3 questions that would destroy most of the arguments of the Left. The first is – compared to what? The second is – at what cost? And the third is – what hard evidence do you have?”

wrt cc

1. climate change is obviously a real phenomenon

2. the effects of it are (broad strokes, generalizing) only about a tenth of what's claimed in the left projections and true doomsday scenarios w/r/t climate are far and few between, with most issues it weighs on affecting hyper-local interests that scarcely breach criteria for attention beyond prefectural or, rarely, regional concerns

3. the fear mongering around that (those fake projections that i doubt the people penning them knew were fake) was politically useful to garner support for alternative energy funding and get voters thinking about what a greener future might actually entail (both positive things)

where it loses me and most median voters i'm guessing is where we jump from sensible policies (scientific r&d funding, tax credits for corporations and orgs involved in exploratory energy affairs) to the visibly absurd (carbon offset credits, the subsumption of the original mission of "green living" into the wider nonsensical all-left coalition of robbing the treasury for racial, sexual, et cetera minority group funding, using the "green mission" as a cudgel against middle of the road or unpalatable but vital economic interests and voting blocs)

and no not really discussing climate change specifically

they had a lot to say about city planning and what the future might look like in general and that ultraliberal bloc of interests that you associate with the Davos or Sun Valley or what have you forums is one of the last reservoirs of political capital still capable of forcing through what you might consider to be a "megaproject" like infrastructure renovation, high speed rail, city founding, or novel incubated trade solutions
