Now, the other half of the picture (the bigger part actually), where findings of climate change actually threatened the oil industry and their profits. When scientists began to declare "climate change/global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels", they were often threatened and their findings were vilified. There's this fascinating story of this scientist, Claire Patterson ("the man who saved the world from lead"). He showed that leaded gasoline was polluting the entire planet with lead, it even showed up in the ice sheet layers of Antarctica! (He himself went there and analysed the layers!). He was threatened by the oil industry monarchs repeatedly but he kept publishing and researching. He fought a legal battle against leaded gasoline for 20 years and won. He literally saved the planet from lead.
Yes I agree it was big oil, then it went further, electricity, mining, agriculture, automobiles, manufacturing, keeping warm they are trying to take a basic right of burning wood, it's got to a point that nothing is out of reach of "climate change" they have their foot in the door and under the guise of "climate change" they can destroy economies and countries.
 
Strawman. That's not a problem, that's the only way science can work because not everyone is a climate scientist or astrophysicist. And you won't find a single scientist writing off laws and principles and findings, that's naive thinking. Most scientific work today needs teams. You don't know how science works.

That's the main contradiction in your pseudo-intellectual ramblings. How do you know that it's a miniscule problem? What source did you trust?

The rest of your "essay" ties science to profits and government influence. That's partly true, science can be suppressed, shaped or forced by certain people in power. But with climate change, it cuts both ways. You only portray half the picture and that too in exaggeration. Yes, climate-change science can push profits in certain markets like electric cars or textiles. But your statements lack nuance. Most of the electric car sales happen not because people care for the planet but because they don't want to pay for gas or mostly because they "want" an electric car.

You're so gullible it's maddening. YOU don't understand how science works.
