Here’s the lunatics’ strategy:screen glare wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 10:04 amThink of all the world’s big money industries which have a financial stake in ignoring Global Warming and its fatal consequences. Status Quo and Business As Usual are their desires. And they’ll spend whatever it takes to put out confusing and misleading fake science and other information (see above link) - in an effort to make non-scientist consumers doubt Global Warming warnings.
It’s the tobacco industry delay tactics being used, again.
1. Deny.
2. As awareness and evidence mounts - create confusion about the evidence.
3. Fund pervasive, slick ad campaigns to convince consumers to keep smoking.
4. Plot a course to make just as much money when steps 1-3 eventually fail. Such as - increasing sales to adults and kids overseas.
That delay time period resulted in fatal diseases in greater numbers for those who continued to smoked.
However with Global Warming everyone on earth can expect dire to-the-point-of-death consequences. The well-funded ad/psa/industry spokesperson “casting doubt campaign” is sucking up our finite lead time to mitigate man-made Global Warming consequences. So this is much worse that the Ignore Science Keep Smoking plot.
1. Make up a fake crisis.
2. Convince the stupid that bigger government and less individual freedom is the only answer.
3. Recruit children and the mentally ill to carry the message so that when intelligent people push back you can scream, “How deh you!”
