This is a very specific and nasty example of a trend I’ve witnessed becoming common on a whole bunch of issues: climate, health, economy, pedophilia, etc etc.
Useful idiots online are spreading “I’m just asking questions” garbage about “pizza gate” and the “covid hoax” and the “climate hoax” etc etc, and anyone who has to deal with this just gets beaten down and withdraws their participation.
I don’t even know who the hell could possibly benefit from damaging the BOM/CSIRO, without some multi-party and honestly contradictory conspiracy of china + russia + resource companies.

Big oil, coal and gas via sympathetic media (read greedy). They have thrown money and pundits at it for so long, not sure they could stop even if they wanted to.
By this point though you’d think they’d pack it up, as blind Freddy can see the writing is on the wall. But I watched FOX roll out Steve Milloy to say the Canadian wildfire smoke was no threat to humans a couple of weeks back. Steve Milloy has been called out as a climate denier since the '90s yet they still use him.

There are many more of them, it’s fun playing spot the denier disguised as an expert in the media but ultimately it is sole destroying knowing how far they have infiltrated and destroyed legitimate science and the public’s perception.

I’m guessing it was a technique they perfected nagging their parents for lollies and they have just never learned any better ways of engaging with society.

It’s a pretty telling sign the person is a fucking moron, something that flows into every aspect of their lives.

Climate change is one of the biggest issues in the world right now and is killing thousands with billions to come.
It’s not like they prefer pineapple on their pizza, to be a climate change denier is no different than a holocaust denier and I’d end a friendship over that as well.

Don’t bother. These peoples entire personalities revolve around how much better their farts smell than other people’s.
I’m going to blame him for the Brisbane radar constantly being down.
