The term "debunking" as used by leftists does not carry significant weight, so get over that. It is a dismissive term trying to shut down arguments so they will not have to defend their positions.

Dyson's arguments on climate change are strong because they challenge this attempt to overwhelm the facts with logic, human-centric reason that is optimistic rather than 3rd rate scientists who are trying to invent platforms on which they can stand in some way. Dyson simply challenged the dominant narative with thoughtful consideration built on 95 years of careful observation.

Every one of the so-called scientists are relying on mathematical models most of them don't even understand.

Dyson was an exceptional expert on climate models, from his work dating to the mid-70s, and these kiddos attacking him today are relative idiots. They only THINK they've advanced the science. Someday, someone will.

I'm not trying to be dogmatic about any of this. But these guys haven't proven anything and Dyson's central points continue to form a better background for dealing with CO2 in the atmosphere:

He questioned the mainstream claim that CO2 levels were a severe threat and came with numerous benefits. Points that proved the be correct: "The idea that global warming is the most important problem facing the world is total nonsense and is doing a lot of harm.” He believed the benefits of CO2-driven greening were underappreciated, potentially offsetting negative impacts like temperature rises. All points that have not been disproved by any of these so-called scientists.

The only real evidence opposing his position is that the newbies who don't know shit from Shinola don't agree with him that this is not an emergency. Unlike these kiddos, he got was that it takes time to properly research and develop the topic, something the latest graduates from Harvard may not quite comprehend.
