This was a fascinating historical read.
What I am curious about is that the piece seem to heavily imply that there is a counterfactual world in which the paper would have come out anyway, but be less “sexy”, hence both public policy & academic focus would have shifted to rely more on mitigation.
@themadstone.bsky.socialI’ve spent more than a year reporting on how the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated academia over the last 30 years, shaping fundamental paradigms on how to address climate change.
My first story in the new @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social series, “Carbon Captured”, is out today.
