The existing article was not only short but a bit esoteric and unbalanced. I have remedied those problems and relegated two esoteric terms to the See Also section.

I just realized the Luddites once again being pictured as hardcore anti-modernist techno-enemies. This is just a stupid myth. Yes, they attacked machines, but only to build up pressure against the owners of these machines (in effect, to get better work conditions). The myth of the Luddites just help the Technocrats to legitimate the optimism in technological progress "against all the irrational resistances" or some similar statements. Cf. Volti, Rudi (1988). Society and technological change, pp.20ff.

All opinion, not wiki worthy
This is one of the few times I’ve seen a lengthy wiki article that reads like a bad blog post or a Reddit rant. Totally slanted and at its worst, uses a bizarre and irrelevant reference to unsubstantiated social theories about obesity in an article about climate science. Moreover, it shows an extreme bias written in the same tone as applied to denialism when technological solutions to climate change is a field with great funding and academic potential. It’s not pseudoscience at all and shouldn’t be written in the same tone.
