The Climate Change Thread

[Al-O-Meter]

“Experts say the documents show the fossil fuel industry had intimate involvement in the inception of modern climate science, along with its warnings of the severe harm climate change will wreak, only to then publicly deny this science for decades and fund ongoing efforts to delay action on the climate crisis.

“These findings are a startling confirmation that big oil has had its finger on the pulse of academic climate science for 70 years – for twice my lifetime – and a reminder that it continues to do so to this day. They make a mockery of the oil industry’s denial of basic climate science decades later.”

‘Smoking gun proof’: fossil fuel industry knew of climate danger as early as 1954, documents show

Documents show industry-backed Air Pollution Foundation uncovered the severe harm climate change would wreak

In a nutshell, the fossil fuel industry has employed real scientists who have done a great deal of due diligence in investigating this complex issue for 70 years to inform their opinion while you aren't a climate scientist but you read some stuff on the internet this morning and have concluded those actual scientists are wrong.

This is not exactly true in my experience, FWIW. I have both been on the academic side being funded by the private sector and in the private sector paying for research to be done by academia. In all my experience the way research was done and conclusions received were not influenced by what results the sponsor was looking for.

What will happen, and could be considered questionable, is that if results are contrary to what the sponsor is hoping for, then that research won't get published.

@Red, do you recognize that is a paid advertisement? It was authored by Presidential Climate Action Project as part of an effort to institute an emissions trading system, and it was paid for by corporate emissions trading brokers.

Here is their totally awesome and not at all sketchy website: https://pcap2020.org/

According to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week, Russia has discovered an oil field in Antarctica roughly ten times the size of the North Sea’s entire 50 year output. Much of the field is believed to be in the Weddell sea, just to the east of the Antarctic...

If you live in a part of the country that over a 24-hour period can receive 20-inches of rainfall from a tropical storm making landfall and the highest elevation is a freeway overpass, there is going to be flooding.
