McGuire tried again to wiggle away from the implications of his tweet.

SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN'T READ.

I SAID 'THE ONLY WAY I SEE EMISSIONS FALLING AS FAST AS THEY NEED TO...'

I DID NOT SAY 'WE NEED A PANDEMIC..'

FFS DON'T READ THINGS INTO A STATEMENT THAT AREN'T THERE

I COULD HAVE SAID SOCIETY-BUSTING ASTEROID IMPACT INSTEAD OF PANDEMIC https://t.co/aD2dXrIH7t— Bill McGuire (@ProfBillMcGuire) May 12, 2024

McGuire was caught in a logic trap that he can't escape.

You said the only way for emissions to fall as fast as they need to is a pandemic

So unless your position is that you’re not rooting for emissions to fall as fast as they need to, that you’re happily resigned to environmental destruction, you are in fact rooting for a pandemic

So, you don’t think emissions need to fall? Because :
1) if you think emissions need to fall, and
2) if you think a pandemic or some other catastrophe is the only way that is going to happen,
3) then you think we need a pandemic or some other catastrophe.

How to you read what he says and not come to the logical conclusion that he wants people to die???

"McGuire retracts initial tweet stating that "only a pandemic" would achieve the "needed" drop in emissions, explaining that a massive asteroid impact, solar coronal ejection, or eruption of a Yellowstone super-volcano "would do equally well" in decimating humanity and attaining the much-needed reduction in emissions.

Well, thanks, perfesser!
