The strategy appears to be designed to boost the fossil fuel industry
That's it. Just billionares doing billionare things.
it's not just billionaires, it's all the people who don't want their precious 20th centruy lifestyle to be altered in the slightest and selling out the future for it. If we the people voted to protect the environment, we would be doing that.
People can't vote optimally if they don't receive optimal information. Who controls our information ?
Lysenkoism 2025
More than 3,000 mainstream biologists were dismissed or imprisoned, and numerous scientists were executed in the Soviet campaign to suppress scientific opponents.[1][2][3][4] The president of the Soviet Agriculture Academy, Nikolai Vavilov, who had been Lysenko's mentor, but later denounced him, was sent to prison and died there, while Soviet genetics research was effectively destroyed.[3][4] Research and teaching in the fields of neurophysiology, cell biology, and many other biological disciplines were harmed or banned.
It is no longer climate change denialism, now it is just scientific denialism.
The really fucked up part is the fossil fuel industry knew this would happen 70+ years ago as fact. So now the conservatives deny the conclusions of those they support. Must be hard twisting your mind into a pretzel.
Also isn't one of the cults behind the GOP sees global warming as "a good thing actually", because they think it's needed to "unseal the apocalypse, and the second coming of Christ" or something like that?
I am sure there are. They are the Evangelicals who are trying to bring about the apocalypse because Jesus.
You allude to something that turns out to be even worse. Reality is often worse than you typically imagine.
At any rate, yes there are a bunch of people excited to capitalize on climate change. Buy up land, move production, etc. It turns out you can make a lot of money off of human suffering!
They can make the data disapppear, but they can't make our own experiences (or the weather news) disappear.
Where I grew up, every year the winter temps got down to where F and C are the same temperature. That stopped happening 15 years ago, when temps in the Arctic had climbed fastest. There's plenty more evidence out there, from all directions. They're hoping that we'll start to distrust our own senses? We can live underground, but that's a hard place to grow food.
TBF, zero sum games are very simple once cooperation is ruled out as a viable strategy and we tried cooperation for a long time.
There's plenty of data in the countries around you.
And can't they just share the data with a friendly/partner university outside the US, before they have to delete it?
