Most climate scientists (this affects a wide variety of fields to be clear) get captured and rendered harmless by the system. A few are very loud, but as they are a small minority others in their field are happy to ignore their message as to not rock the boat. They are easily dismissed as alarmist, irrational, extremist etc.
Imagine going into a field to make a difference and you end up publishing papers that basically say “we knew this 70 years ago, we knew this 50 years ago, we knew we were out of time 30 years ago, and here’s what we should have done 10 years ago at the latest, but it’s too late now so we should just give up”.
Then they move on to the next study on how “it’s even worser now, we should have done something in 2025”.
Fucking collaborators, really.
