Coincidentally, I was recently reading Moldbug, and I though: "What would his LW fans think about his opinions on global warming?"
Second question: "If you are Moldbug's fan and you disagree with him on this topic, do you treat it as an evidence against his other opinions?"
I'm a Moldbug fan in the sense that I think his model of the Cathedral and power in America is probably correct or at the very least useful.
He is right on the state of climatology and while and global warming pretty much clearly is happening we simply are not good at predicting the climates future behaviour. This makes cost benefit analysis for policy hard. Since the early 2000s it seems to have obviously become attached to a political struggle where the actual truth of the matter has little relevance to the tribes involved.
