Speaking of academics there are of course lots of academic associated with the Toxic Sludge Is Good For You school of "science". They are funded by the deep pockets of right-wing billionaires, big business and the fossil-fuel companies too.

These academics act of shills for the above.

They are also connected with and work for the various USA right-wing think (propaganda) tanks such as the IPA here in Australia, the AEI, the Heritage Foundation and lots more too.

Then of course there is also the Cornwall Alliance too, which bases its world-view on their (mis)-interpretation of the Bible.

"We need an ecological revolution" - Well, the world could start with an urgent campaign to stabilise the population.

We're not going to solve any problems through overpopulation.

We need a mentality revolution !

Since you know so much about all this, Daffy, tell us more. Who are the billionaires, which are the big businesses and foreign fuel companies? How much are they paying? To whom?

No matter what the number you invent, it will pale into significance by the trillions spent in the name of "tackling climate change."

Act on climate change like you did on Notre-Dame, activist Greta Thunberg begs EU

Too sensible for today's politicians I imagine.

Well we have a similar amount of people killed in floods, droughts, cyclones as there has always been.
Many more killed in wars and car accidents.

You can't save the environment with the 7 billion headed for 10 billion people on earth.
If it wasn't for the cheap power provided by coal to some of those billions of people
around the world, you would have double the carbon dioxide,
because they would cut down trees to use for fires to cook and warm themselves with.
Because trees absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide burning wood pumps
twice as much carbon into the air as coal
