Re: Tactics and Motivation of Global Warming Denial

Eugenics was a very popular idea at the University of Michigan in the early 20th century, I'm sure it was elsewhere too

Total hijack, but you're right that UM was literally the center of the American eugenics movement, but you wouldn't really know it now, given how silent the university is on its rather tainted history.
UM was home to at least some of the Kellogg Race Betterment Conferences throughout the 1910s - 1930s, but you can't even access the records of the conferences or the now defunct Eugenics Records Office, as UM locked the records away at Taubman. They are apparently very difficult to get access to, even for serious and prestigious researchers.
