If this sounds like "1984," maybe because it is. Imagine turning our entire energy infrastructure into some sick joke based on "climate science" such as that peddled by this fakir?

If this sounds like "1984," maybe because it is. Imagine turning our entire energy infrastructure into some sick joke based on "climate science" such as that peddled by this fakir? All the windmills, solar arrays and EVs won't make a bit of difference (even if one believes the CO2 hypothesis) when China and India and others are building coal-fired electric plants and other production facilities. Want to make me believe this garbage? Push for natural gas and nuclear generation. Otherwise you're only making things worse. Much worse A modern society needs reliable electricity. So called "renewables" are not. And millions will soon be unable to afford electricity - if it's even available.
This is the second (non-Covid) FP article I can remember that addresses the UTTER CORRUPTION of science in our times -- worse now the Woke Era. [The other one concerned the universal assumption that amyloid plaques cause Alzheimer’s, despite evidence to the contrary, and despite decades of failure based on that assumption!]
It is, indeed, chillingly 1984ish. In the face of such widespread manipulation, the only LOGICAL response is to assume that everything *may* be compromised...but in our complex society, we cannot learn everything ourselves; we are reliant on experts (who are likely compromised). It’s like an ouroboros of corruption.
The author’s morals aside, the corruption of science is WAY more important than mere “culture wars”, and should be on everyone’s radar. Like the Soviet-era joke went: What do you get when you mix politics and science? Answer: Politics!
My man! Dude, I wrote an entire analysis about 1984 and Brave New World and how those books literally primed us for this reality. Here's parts 1 and 2 of the three part analysis:

On a related note, I re-watched Idiocracy last night. Too familiar, and more so every day...
