They’re here to scare.....you’ve only got hope if you pay more taxes to their pockets...that’s the sincere hope they’ll giving you.
You have it exactly backwards. But I am glad you are being more direct with your claims rather than playing the slippery game.
Big corporations? You mean like big fossil fuel companies who, according to their own internal records, knew about their product's effect on global warming?
Exxon Knew about Climate Change almost 40 years ago
A new investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote misinformation

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -1966.htmlAs for politicians, they are mostly completely disinterested in taking appropriate action precisely because they are largely bought by these very same companies. Just this year, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo touted the melting Arctic as a great opportunity to dig up more stored carbon and that new waterways in the Arctic would be the Panama and Suez Canals of the 21st century.
The only scientists directly on a suspicious dole have been those funded by special interest groups. The vast majority (almost all, if not all currently active) climate scientists get their money the same way other scientists do, and have, from the government. Although, that too, seems to be changing as the White House just cleared out the OSTP and is doing the same wherever they can (pretty much everywhere).
Donald Trump is closing science offices throughout the federal government.
‘As of June, around 85 percent of all scientific posts in the federal government, including an official scientific advisor to the President, were left unfilled,’
Despite the veritable purge of scientists and science communication that has characterized the Trump administration, the White House still has an Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Unfortunately, its science division is now completely lacking any staff whatsoever.
As reported by CBS News, the three remaining employees, all of which were holdovers from the Obama administration, have left.
First established in 1976 by Congress, it is designed to provide the President and others with “advice on the scientific, engineering, and technological aspects of the economy, national security, homeland security, health, foreign relations, the environment, and the technological recovery and use of resources, among other topics.”
So, no, the government and scientists are not cooperating at any level over this. And, no, there is not a conspiracy about climate change, unless you mean the obvious one that you have fallen victim to at the hands of these big corporations.
The entire premise of your claims about tipping points not being reached has to be predicated on complete inaction in response to these warnings, but we know for a fact that is not the case. What is far more likely is that the considerable efforts to take action (uneven as they have been) acted to mitigate the imminent threat of increased problems stemming from climate change. These are all things that can be easily looked up online and verified.
Any other stupid comments?
