Just fucking lol to all of this. Everything the scientists are accused of by deniers somehow doesn't apply to the actual for profit oil companies. Somehow how they don't have any financial incentives to distort the narrative, the findings. It's ok for them to have a best guess versus ironclad perfect predictions. Etc. How much lube do you go through dickriding Exxon so ferociously?
Why would you IGNORE the fact that THEIR GW predictions way back then were FAR MORE RATIONAL and ACCURATE than any of the UN IPCC climate predictions? Like I SAID -- there was nothing to hide. MOST corporate research aint for publication or public disclosure.
They "distorted" NOTHING. They made their best guess. IN FACT -- the furor at the time that research paper was leaked -- was NOT ABOUT whether it was accurate or NOT -- it was about the fact that they DISCUSSED AND STUDIED Global Warming. And what's your exact problem with that?
FURTHERMORE -- at that time -- ALL of what you call the "iron-clad" predictions being made in the infant science of GW warming FAILED within a decade or two. The difference being that the "outside scientists" were pushing CATASTROPHIC theories that had flimsy basis. And the oil company was projecting the future on the ACTUAL power of CO2 to warm the atmosphere. Not the invented SUPERPOWERS that were invented by the "mainstream" scientists.
All that is in the rear view mirror at this point. EVERY model of that time has been revised CONSTANTLY DOWNWARDS for the past 30 years or so -- and YET -- all those CATASTROPHIC theories and predictions STILL LIVE ON THE INTERNET.
So that YOU can keep your panties in a wad over the planet ENDING in 8 years.
