I just turned on the television for the first time in years. There was an ad from an oil company talking about climate change as if it’s a given, and how they’re taking measures to stop it.

Or rather, it supports the thesis that the clerisy are interested in power rather than actual morality. Regarding the poor academics, the conflict between members of the middle class is the point of the article. Tenured professors v. adjuncts might be the best possible example of the authors point.
