Climate scientists were shit on so hard by conservatives, they started going along with their oppressors. For the past 40 years or so, they have understated their dire predictions instead of reporting the truth because the truth invited attacks from the right. This downplaying has only emboldened conservatives. So, here we are. On the brink of extinction because scientists were afraid to speak honestly in the face of conservative oppression.
When resources are extremely limited, and you must make very hard choices that affect your neighbors’ lives, remember conservatives did this. And they mocked the normal people as they did this.
I mean I don’t think that is fair. We aren’t on the brink of extinction due to scientists downplaying the threat. We would likely be on the brink of extinction regardless of what the scientists did.
As usual. Standard conservative playbook.
Basically toddlers with parents that give in to every tantrum. They relentless scream, throw things, hit things or people until they get their way.
It’s a depressing world when people can’t look at the numbers and reach the obvious conclusions on their own. Instead we have to show them [sad scientist face]. But that tactic won’t get through either since it leans on CEO’s empathy, which as the rest of us know, doesn’t exist.
