@rabbijill@markvonwahlde In the past 10-20 years I’ve heard bizarre things from some people I thought were educated well-reasoned people. People with doctorates!! My university colleagues!! Nothing surprises anymore. It just makes me sad.
@rabbijill, that’s simple. People are shortsighted and easily manipulated. Those in power, those who put greed above compassion, who think they are outside the law of cause and effect will lie and drive the population to whatever ends they desired. And when the climate gets really bad and billions of people starve or are displaced, they’ll scream at scientists who can’t magically fix the problem.
