I’m actually for science and scientists to be the face of this, not a kid that didn’t even finish high school who has no business lecturing people when there’s tens of thousands of PhDs who could give better arguments.


you are I get that.
But when 95% of scientists agree on Climate change. And most of the right calls it "fake" "hoax" etc.
even if L tried a different strategy I can see why, because your right sometimes emotional pleas get way farther than a Dr. talking to the dude in Oklahoma.
TBH she didn't help the cause any either

appeal to authority fallacy


If the authority is literally the vast majority of the experts in the field then it is not a fallacy its just reality.

The fallacy is not "appeal to authority", the fallacy is "appeal to false authority".

So, for instance, if I say "Literally no professional egyptologist thinks aliens built the pyramid", then that's not a fallacy because their field of expertise is Egypt. If I say "The ancient aliens guy thinks the pyramids were built by aliens", then that's a fallacious argument because he's not an expert in any relavent field.
