Do you think the real reports from the petroleum institutes were so dire back in the day that they knew we we're already fucked regardless? I get that "money" but like, are/were they all just that cold and psychopathic that they kick the can knowing it means the likely eventual death of their progeny and end of their lineage? It's just so pervasive and the action so performative that it makes you question the very fabric of reality.
My guess is people can always find someone to tell them what they want to hear. So much easier to be “operating based on the best information you have” than lie knowingly.
sort of a "yes man" scenario? That's plausible. It would be interesting to look into at the very least.
