 Would be excellent! As long as someone takes the first step, usually the rest will follow. =)

About 12 years ago I wrote a paper detailing why I thought renewable energy would never work except as an add on. Because in every case the nuclear power option was cheaper *overall* and less environmentally destructive.
It had nothing to say about climate change. I was merely looking at a future beyond fossil fuels...
But the moment I put it on line, using a name I had never used before in the Internet, and put a link to it, I discovered that I was already 'a well known climate denier' ...'in the pay of big Oil'!!
At that point I started to look closer into climate change to see why an independent retired engineer writing about energy should arouse such a false response.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
