You, yourself have just said that the discourse is politicized and poisoned.
It's not 63x more than estimated, or thought, or calculated. It's not an error somewhere in the process to calculate it. It is 63x worse than reported by an industry that has routinely lied about their impact on the climate. It is very, very possible.

You can talk about those "evil oil companies", but this is 2024. It's hard to imagine them under-reporting so drastically, again, to me. What is there to gain? If this is real, it's going to be the end of them.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoCounterpoint: what if it would not be the end of them and they know it. What would they be willing to do then?
- pjc50 3y agoIt's just them lying for PR. It's not something which has consequences. > "evil oil companies", but this is 2024 Same companies, and often same people. They can keep the climate change denial going as long as they're making money from it.
- aoeusnth1 3y agoWhy would this be the end of them, specifically? What exactly is going to happen?

- Steven420 3y agoUnfortunately our current government tends to lie about these sorts of things too. I'm not sure who to believe...
