So what if it’s a science versus economics argument – CSIRO/BRANZ versus the treasury? When you don’t like the argument sack the scientist, or if your treasury says we can’t afford it, be more conservative with your predictions and show that coral reef dying and increased temperatures are manmade. The fact is we are running out of fossil fuels and the current dominant players don’t want to lose their influence, pay scale, and dominance to the new contenders. It’s like when we were kids – you choose points you know siblings don’t like arguing and then distract mum or dad with a personal truth that makes your sibling look less truthful than you. Or in the case of a corporate bully, trying to force a smaller opponent or customer to comply, they would assault you with buying motives that make you choose. Thus avoiding a loss, pain and problems because you value your pride, social standing and continue to make a gain.
