But you can understand from Dave’s thread why people would be understandably upset, yes? I do think the journalist made an error by not reporting Victor’s ties with fossil fuel funding.
Victor’s research received $7.5 million from BP, he is currently a witness for Trump opposing @youthgov’s climate lawsuits, and he wrote about how we shouldn’t blame fossil fuel companies for climate change. I know you don’t think that’s relevant but I respectfully disagree.
