@RationalWiki , as a longtime admirer of RationalWiki , I'll just mention in case this hasn't been noticed that the Vanish cache layer currently cannot reach the back end engine (site therefore being down). Best wishes for site recovery, good folks.
I wonder if people would be more willing to believe how the fossil fuel industry doesn't care if the rest of us live if someone presented it as a conspiracy.

In the late 1950's a secret cabal of wealthy industrialists were told that the world was going to end...
And they did nothing but kept grabbing as much money as they could because they would rather you died then they become poor.
Oh.. yeah this isn't a conspiracy theory.
We've got court documents pretty much proving everything except for why they don't care, that's a guess.
@alienghic Timothy Snyder in a chapter in his 2024 book "On Freedom" addressed this. He coined the phrase "oligarchic escapes" for it, the #billionaires' fantasy that with enough money one can escape the #apocalypse through various means. #RationalWiki covers the concept on different pages, collected here:

#RationalWiki has been saved from the brink of collapse from a series of frivolous #SLAPP lawsuits. We came out of this with an out-of-court settlement requiring removal of about 60 web pages, and a reincorporation from New Mexico (weak anti-SLAPP laws) to Oregon (strong anti-SLAPP laws). Moving forward, we are looking to replace two board members who helped get us through this difficult period.
