This is an interesting and well written piece. I do take issue with the author falling short in considering the actual actors that have contributed to climate change. It’s not a conspiracy theory that car (and tire) manufacturers have worked against public transportation infrastructure in the US. It’s not a contentions theory that fossil fuel companies knew they were altering the atmosphere and our political system did nothing.

There are conspiracies, which are distinct from conspiracy theories. Would I be a climate populist for suggesting petrol lobbies are responsible to a degree for climate change? What if I believe that capitalist economic forces have accelerated climate change? Could I be disregarded as a conspiracy theorist?

The article makes predictions that are sound, but a clearer delineation on responsibility is needed.
