"Cyprus, which asks for an investment of at least €2m, gave citizenship to Jho Low, the fugitive Malaysian businessman at the centre of the 1MDB sovereign wealth fund scandal." ... "Cyprus has made about €6bn issuing about 4,000 passports since the scheme was introduced in 2013."

From the article: "Rather than being ranked with other major western democracies, the US falls lower down the list alongside countries like Kosovo and Romania."

Interesting! Is there any way to automatically track the changes in position of a post to HN and check that afterwards?

I haven't been precise enough, sorry. They deny that drastic carbon reductions are needed as a result of climate change. In other words, they deny that climate change is the cause of carbon emissions, which to me is denying climate change.

In this new volume, 117 scientists, economists, and other experts address and refute IPCC’s claim that the impacts of climate change on human well-being and the natural environment justify dramatic reductions in the use of fossil fuels

There is no other side in this case in my humble opinion. What we have is overwhelming scientific evidence supporting climate change, and some made-up research paid by carbon industry lobbies, like some of the organizations funded by google mentioned in the article, which deny climate change.

So in this case, by non-mainstream views you mean lobbying based on made-up research and plain lies I assume (it is what climate change denial lobbies use most of the time)

Totally agree, however the crude reality is that they are directly helping the cause of climate change denial with their funding.
