I don’t know why but I’m really glad for Porter. Great grift. In every other parallel universe, Porter is either a likeable scientist or known for Porter’s law, up there with Newton. In this neoliberal hellscape, they get to have a whole hypothesis named after them for hypothesising that maybe if you regulate emissions, emissions might go down. Genius. And yet the other scientists, high on whatever fumes are loose in their labs and a healthy dose of don’t-contradict-the-bourgeoisie-if-you-want-that-next-research-grant, are unwilling to consider whether Porter’s hypothesis that making emissions illegal might lead to fewer emissions might just be the most obvious law you’ve ever seen.
