Hey Alex! Big fan of your work. I have seen a lot of your debates online and think that are great.

My question is about the evidence regarding climate change. How does one differentiate between "speculative science" vs "empirically demonstrated science"? If it is true that so much of the climate change theories rely on speculation, I find it hard to believe that so many scientists would agree with the theories (even though the number of people that believe in climate change is far lower than usually reported). Is there a mix of evidence that is demonstrated with incorrect interpretation, or is it completely speculation? If you could provide an example too, that would great as well.

Thanks for the AMA!

Thank you for answering my question!

I had one more question. I remember in one of the debates/talks I saw online you mentioned how about "water rights" or some such legal protections.

How would an ideal capitalistic legal system balance the protection of its citizens from pollution of air, water, etc. while also protecting the rights of the businessmen? Would the citizens rely on the courts if there was damage to their air quality or water supply?
