I find it hilarious that there's a debate going on about climate scientists' objectivity when the other side IS LITERALLY THE PETROL LOBBY, and we have decades of data showing how their industry has destroyed the ecosystem.

And I'd suggest people consider: when shit gets really bad, there's going to be backlash - people crying out "why didn't the scientists save us, why didn't they stop things if they're so smart" and all science will have is decades of warnings going back to the 80s.
meanwhile - the fucks on the right side of OP's image will be the ones leading the torch wielding mobs, probably saying it's a conspiracy by the scientists to profit off the world's end. which is what the petrol lobby has done.
Farmers' protests against the European Green Deal has to be one of the most mind-boggling movements I've witnessed. It's exactly as you say: by 2050 farmers will be asking for even bigger handouts because their crops failed, while also crying about how EU didn't stop global warming. Literal children protesting because EU put greens on their plate.
