If you add another blanket to your bed, you

Their list of soundsgood armchair postulates is
endless, for unlike science, it is bound only
by human imagination. For example, Earth's
"blanket" is already infinately thick, so adding
another will not make us warmer. The object is
not truth, but but that old lawyer's and PR man's
trick: plausible deniability.

The object of propaganda, denialism in particular,
is not to win arguments, but to instil doubt.

When one wonders, I find it best to never
ignore simple economics and to recognize that
corporations have far longer lifespans than humans.
Only humans and Wall Street think 20 years is a
long time.
simple economics:
Rule one:
If it's economic, it exists or soon will.
