      When I thought I caught my father beating my mother, he told me "I'm educating her" and I suddenly felt better about it. For a moment, I thought the repeated face-punching was abuse, but I know better now.

      the issue is they also knew something even worse that no one could do anything about anyway. Industrial Agriculture was destroying the global Rhizosphere, and it happens to be the singular most important part of the Carbon Cycle. The very foundation of all terrestrial life.
      Bigoilyboi knew that they were making things worse, but they also knew that without cheap and immediate energy, the worst would get here centuries faster than it would otherwise. We could go back to 99% coal and still solve the problem if the emphasis was placed where it actually needs to be placed. On Industrial Agriculture. Carbon-12 is foundation of ALL life.
      The reason all the Carbon-12 is staying in the atmosphere is because we took billions of hectares of land that used to support a complete carbon recycling ecosystem, dug it up, gassed it into the atmosphere, and poison any living thing that attempts to return to that land that isn't a harvested crop. We took thousands of gigatons of carbon-12, threw it into the atmosphere, and destroyed one of the largest possible CO2 scrubbers that can possibly exist. No human technology could scale so large to replace it in less than 2 centuries of perfect development and construction with zero supply interruptions or conflict of any kind.
      They knew that reality was inescapable too. The only difference is, common knowledge still hasn't caught up to Scientific reality 50 years ago. People it turns out, are about 72% pureBred fukpotato per 100,000 sampled. So the vast majority will do whatever the herd does. And the herd just wants to eat, sleep, fight, and fk. As long as you provide that to a large group of people you can convince them to do literally anything. Even destroy the planet and all life on it to make 12 old men more money than any verifiably wealthy ruler in all of human history.

    The MythBusters team have collectively been scientific/intellectual heroes for almost an entire generation. I loved science. Many of my childhood friends didn't really care about science in the classroom. Until people like Kari were making it entertaining on MythBusters. The team fostered something beautiful for an entire country.
    I'm sorry that Kari finds herself in a situation that she needs to do this. We ALL know better. Shell has covered up climate change for 50 years. Many oil companies are responsible for the direction our climate is heading. But Shell might be one of it not THE most responsible entity for it, because they potently misled our governments. They pacified efforts to move away from oil, because it was harmful to Shell. Millions of people are going to die in the next 50 years because of how unstable the world is becoming, and Shell's only cause to pivot from its actions are that it got CAUGHT. They're literally still holding the trick in their bag in case it becomes potent again in the future.
    I'm sorry to be ashamed of Kari Byron right now. But reaching people and engendering a love for the pursuit of knowledge in children across the country and beyond for years, and this? I'm dismayed in a way that cuts almost as deep as finding out Robin WIlliams took his own life.
