I don't understand how a serious paper can push something like this, does anyone sane still deny climate change? Sure it's taking a while for the worst to come to pass but that's because it's a slow process.
At least they labelled it as opinion.
I was expecting this to be about the climate impact of AI data centres but instead it was just baseless conspiracy theories.
Absolutely, however all the significant examples I know of are making a rationalisation to publicly deny AGW for material gain while often privately accepting the physics, down playing the publicly global consequences and focusing on the probable lack of meaningful personal consequences.
