Obama's offshore drilling proposal

mercredi 4 mai 2016 à 02:00

Obama's Controversial Offshore Drilling Proposal Rests On Research Funded By Fossil Fuel Industry.

This policy is based on a refusal to recognize the fact that oil is now cheap, and the knowledge that we need to keep 80% of known reserves in the ground.

This shows an example of the standard way businesses corrupt science nowadays. Businesses fund professors, who know what they have to say in order to get more support in the future. They also support "think tanks" in which those professors can meet and produce reports to say what the businesses want them to say.

Then the same businesses' pet politicians can cite these studies as an excuse to do what these businesses want.

The first step in putting an end to this is to make businesses get smaller.
