Twitter became a haven for climate misinformation

A pile of papers and consensus among the academic elite and their funders is quite different than proofs in mathematics, which are self-evidently true, or logical inferences from axioms which one can choose to accept or not.

I wonder what the parent poster would think about the consensus on evolution, or gravity.
I disagree with the "misinformation" label generally. But I can see with voting or public health how there is a public interest in people receiving correct information (ignoring that authorities have lost all credibility on the larger anyway).
But when it comes to politics, or "science" if we insist on calling it that, an official narrative is counterproductive and everyone has a right to say what they want, even if it's "wrong" or you don't agree. TMZ may be a source of celebrity misinformation. Who cares.
How can you say who cares when every republican member of congress either disputes or outright denies the scientific consensus on climate change and attempts to prevent all meaningful action? I'm still young, and it feels like my future, and the futures of future generations, are evaporating in front of me.
In my more jaded moments I wonder if at this point assassinating certain politicians could justified as self defense...
But its sort of like asking if it would have been okay to assassinate Hitler (he was elected remember) before the holocaust took place, but the writing was on the wall.
What does a politians life, your life, or my life mean in the face of untold suffering of millions of people for countless generations?
What about you? Where would you draw the line? Would you say that George W's life outweighs the trillian dollars in national debt and 150K-1M civilian casualties? If you knew you could have averted all that from just killing him, did it, turned yourself in, when you were executed would you be a villain or a hero?
