They are right about one thing. There are conspiracies. They are just not the ones they think.

GHG emitters without any alternatives, mainly, oil and gas companies are starting rumors so they stay in business. Even airlines have a pivot and could build HSR integrated with their flight networks, saving air travel for crossing oceans and continents. Ethanol corn farmers could grow food. Even coal miners could reasonably transition into mining metals.

Oil and gas…well I don’t have any ideas. Sorry, but the entire industry needs to shrink an order of magnitude or two.

NPR doing their thing.

Tell us, NPR, if climate activists are having to fight conspiracy theories - presumably those theories came from somewhere? Are they autonomous? Sentient? No? Then why use them instead of saying big oil, fox news, Q social, the republiQan party, are what people working to save the planet have to fight with every day?

Hm? Why bundle them all under “conspiracy theories”? Why not “people working on climate solutions facing a big obstacle: nouns”. Or “:scowly old people”?

This is what NPR does. They’re ostensibly progressive, but their content is so mealy-mouthed and obscurant they only help republiQans feel better.

Never got around to calling “enhanced interrogations” torture either. Reasons unknown.
