Agreed. But I do feel obligated to caveat because its not that the word is "triggering," but merely that it is deeply false based on what the establishment attaches to the idea.
It's just that the dominant parts of that narrative they spin are total lies:
• It causes more and terrible storms (no it doesn't)
• It causes more droughts and forest fires (no it doesn't)
• CO2 is a pollutant (no it isn't)
• That it is bad for plant & animal life to have more CO2 or for the planet to get warmer (no it isn't)
• That its bad for human life for the planet to get warmer (no it isn't)
• That the planet wouldn't be getting warmer if we weren't driving around in cars (not remotely true)
• That it will keep getting hotter forever until everything bursts into flames (not only not true based on it's more base premises, but CO2 as a greenhouse gas has a diminishing effect, basically a "bitcoin halving" like warming effect where no matter how much more we add it will simply stop contributing to the GHE at a certain point - even if it is the most important factor for a warming planet, which is not at all proven or even very sensible)
If you take all these simple facts out of the foundation of the narrative, there just isn't that much left. And it distracts from the REAL problems we have in energy & establishes a framing that will make these problems worse, instead of better.
I ramble here only to make a point. That mindset is absolutely critical, and we have to stop submitting to a frame that is clearly wrong & forces us into a model of thinking that will do more damage than good. But generally I actually agree with your note 😆
