Sweden has received intense complaints and praise for its conservative reaction to the pandemic. How do the effects of COVID-19 in the country compare to those in the U. S. ?Are you in the U. S. and other countries? From deforestation to climate replacement to pollution, headline after headline warns that we are destroying our planet. These outrageous claims are out of step with the latest evidence.
Join host Cameron English as he sits down with Dr. Chuck Dinerstein to break them down on episode 32 of the Science Dispatch podcast:
Sweden was the poster child of the crowd living loose or dying, without confinement. The Great Barrington Declaration has its roots in the Swedish response. But beyond those fragments, what happened? It’s time for many of us, myself included, to locate outside.
Sad and miserable headlines about pollutants and climate replacement are the norm. But they don’t paint an accurate picture. Many countries are making serious efforts for the environment. Human ingenuity is a last resort. My last at BigThink.
