    Stuff like this just depresses me further tbh, anyone that is willing to listen is already aware and anyone that has the power to further affect changes is actively ignoring climate data.

      That’s not true, people are more and more willing to acknowledge and address climate change. There’s been a big shift from ten years ago.

      Do you think the real reports from the petroleum institutes were so dire back in the day that they knew we we’re already fucked regardless? I get that “money” but like, are/were they all just that cold and psychopathic that they kick the can knowing it means the likely eventual death of their progeny and end of their lineage? It’s just so pervasive and the action so performative that it makes you question the very fabric of reality.

        My guess is people can always find someone to tell them what they want to hear. So much easier to be “operating based on the best information you have” than lie knowingly.

          sort of a “yes man” scenario? That’s plausible. It would be interesting to look into at the very least.
