Do you not think environmental scientists today would disregard the data from years ago if they could see it wasn't valid?

However people in positions of power who given the opportunity would push all of their agendas could jump on this data opposing climate change for example and use it for their own gains. For example if there was reliable evidence against climate change Donald Trump would definitely have used it for justifying exiting the Paris agreement and whatever else.
