Sabine Karin Doris Hossenfelder (born 18 September 1976)
In July 1977, a senior scientist of Exxon, James Black reported to the company's executives that there was a general scientific agreement at that time that the burning of fossil fuels was the most likely manner in which mankind was influencing global climate change.
Exxon's research confirming the existence of manmade climate change is almost as old as you are.
However I remember her making a whole video about being skeptical of nuclear fusion, which made sense for me at the time except now we're seeing so much progress in that field I'm wondering if she could be also wrong about this lol
From when I still watched her, Superdeterminism seemed to be her thing. Its a non-theory, totally unprovable. I don't think she's a MOND believer, could be wrong though but either way she's not a cosmologist.
Watch the video. The headline claim is that oil companies would never have stopped selling oil and the public would never have stopped buying it no matter how much information was out there - it does not actually deny that oil companies knew about climate change very early on. Less than a minute into the video Sabine starts blaming oil companies for climate change denial misinformation. It's just a clickbait title.
but isn't blaming oil companies for misinformation a far less strong accusation if you preface it by saying that publicly available information just doesn't matter in this case?
What(?? I don't even know this lady, wtf is super determinism too. Does she think that there's a god deciding our decisions? Because I don't think you can get more deterministic than our thoughts being defined by our experiences, unless you just start making stuff up or genuinely believe in the supernatural
Exxon literally knew since the fucking 70s and that didn’t stop them from paying for fake studies and propaganda campaigns against climate change activists
Imagine being so fucking shameless and immoral that you go absolutely against all the scientific data despite being a scientist during a world changing crisis. She is 100% getting paid for this directly or indirectly from the oil industry.
Add her to the list of people to send to live in the worst affected coastal region in 50 years
SMDH my dick head, they got Sabine with the CIA YouTube clickbait title gun. And the CIA shitty takes gun set to three-round burst mode, multiple times now. They're using her for target practice at this point.
Sabine has some good takes and highly dubious takes, watch with a pinch of salt. And bullshit, they knew then; hell, they know now and they're still fighting climate change action tooth and nail.
