"many of us are disgusted with the rejection of long-established scientific principles"

Many scientists are disgusted by people spreading that lie. Perhaps you can' point us to the mo,ment where that rejection begins. (I can; I'll post a link at the end. No peeking until you choose a date).

when rejection began...

In July 1988, on page 11 of Sports Illustrated magazine, one story caught the eye of Fred Palmer.

Under the headline “ The Foul, Hot Summer,” the article lamented that year’s scorching heat and drought.

“We have only ourselves to blame for this midsummer's nightmare. Burning fossil fuels has created many of these environmental ills,” the story read.

Palmer was worried. As the boss of Western Fuels Association (WFA), a co-op of coal power generators and haulers, this self-confessed “prairie populist” could see the writing on the wall for his industry.
