Let’s take a closer look at at one of your sources:

Support of biotechnology in farming. Global warming denier.
A food policy analyst for 30 years, Dennis Avery began his career with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, served on the staff of President Lyndon Johnson's National Advisory Commission of Food and Fiber, and, prior to joining Hudson, was the senior agricultural analyst for the U.S. Department of State.[2] He was the author of several books, including the New York Times best-seller Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years which he co-authored with Dr. S. Fred Singer of George Mason University in Virginia.
Avery was an outspoken supporter of biotechnology, pesticides, irradiation, industrial farming, and free trade, as well as a long-time critic of organic farming and farm subsidies.[citation needed] He did not believe that DDT causes egg shell thinning in eagles.[3][4] Hudson Institute's financial backers include major agricultural companies (e.g. ConAgra, Cargill) and pesticide manufacturers (e.g. Monsanto Company, DuPont, Dow-Elanco, Sandoz, Ciba-Geigy.[5]”

Always follow the money. That sounds like a conflict of interest. Companies that manufactures products of petrochemicals as financial backers puts any credibility to doubt. It’s the classic case of industries investigating themselves and finding no wrong doing. Industry shillling to make themselves sound innocent.
Many oil companies already knew of their effects on global warming 30 years ago and denied it.

Thankfully, oil companies are finally admitting global warming is real and are starting to do something about it, as they pivot to transitioning to renewable energy sources.
It was only a matter of time, until they ran out of fossil fuels as extraction became riskier and increasingly dangerous with off shore drilling.
They were postponing the inevitable, but the future of cleaner energy is finally and thankfully here
