They are doing that one abit more subtly. They can't challenge it directly, as that combats their opinions of themselves as 'scientific' but I am seeing papers coming out of Midwestern ecology schools (which are subsequently pushed hard on social media), that are pushing forward a hypothesis that 'we just don't know enough about the carbon cycle, there are lots of unaccounted carbon creating beings that could be helping with the warming', as well as people saying that because there have been no apocalyptic universal Hollywood spectacal collapse that 'the climate scientists got all their predictions wrong'.
It'll creep into mainstream thought over time, especially as it becomes too late to change.
Can you link one of those? Love to know what I'm up against.
I'll see if I can actually find it, I only know about it second-hand myself.
What do you call the LA wildfires?
They aren't 'universal' (other than the studio, yuk yuk) enough, as apocalyptic as they should be. Already seeing people just blaming California state government, and not connecting it to the awful smog and fires coming down from Canada, because memory is basically a month for most.
sounds like eco-genocide...
They are usually talking about ant-colonies or other micro-ecologies. Tbf, there is likely alot of unaccounted CO2 production from those areas, but there is no way that it comes even close to the amount of CO2 industrial processes (particularly farming) create. It's just throwing chaff and is horseshit, but people want to rationalize it as not our fault, so they will grasp at even bullshit explanation.
Things like ant colonies haven't increased the amount of atmospheric co2 as well, as the carbon has releases has largely been pulled from the air, whereas the fossil fuel industry involves releasing historically trapped carbon (which did come from the air but a billion years ago), increasing the net co2 in the short term
Good explanation, clearly it's horseshit, but that is what I hear being pushed.
