The phrase "western propaganda of climate change" is pure provocation along not one axis but two. We know from experience what effects such comments have—the effects of a lit match on a dry forest. If you want to bring a new perspective into things, billows of smoke won't do it.

Since we've already had to warn you about bad HN comments, it would probably be a good idea if you'd (re)-read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html. I believe you're well-intentioned, but there's some work to do to get to contributing well here.

Thanks for that response, I think I will use "allegedly questionable data on planetary climate and surrounding public discourse by friends on the western side of the globe". That ought to be less "provocative" while meaning the same.
