6. I unkindly refuse to not call out bullshit when it's bullshit.

Bullshit can kill people. I have what's called a reference in a prominent journal showing that "green hydrogen" is, as it's been for half a century, bullshit. It makes things worse, not better.

If one wishes to criticize a journal article, one can, submit a comment in a paper to the journal. There are usually one or more such comments published in each issue of the main journals I read regularly.

However publication of a comment generally requires scientific standing.

The authors of the paper to which bullshitters object because it points out that "green hydrogen" in China is well, bullshit, are from Princeton University, and it seems that several are connected directly with China given their names.

The paper states quite clearly that Chinese hydrogen is making climate collapse worse, and thus the issue is ethical and thus my ethics behoove me to point it out. I do understand that bullshitters from the orange slime mold in the White House down to bloggers who also neither know nor value science are either ethically challenged or merely ethically indifferent.

Nevertheless when fossil fuels are consumed, especially when used to greenwash them with consumer toys, they kill people. This is well known, even if fossil fuel advertising and greenwashing types are into denial.

Have a nice day.
