Seems like you used it wrong.Nepo baby - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Someone who worked in the EPA had a kid that worked in the supreme court.
If the kid would have ended up working for the EPA then that would make the kid a nepo baby according to the definition but since the kid worked in the supreme Court the nepo baby adjective is incorrect from what I can gather.

“Experts say the documents show the fossil fuel industry had intimate involvement in the inception of modern climate science, along with its warnings of the severe harm climate change will wreak, only to then publicly deny this science for decades and fund ongoing efforts to delay action on the climate crisis.
“These findings are a startling confirmation that big oil has had its finger on the pulse of academic climate science for 70 years – for twice my lifetime – and a reminder that it continues to do so to this day. They make a mockery of the oil industry’s denial of basic climate science decades later.”

In a nutshell, the fossil fuel industry has employed real scientists who have done a great deal of due diligence in investigating this complex issue for 70 years to inform their opinion while you aren't a climate scientist but you read some stuff on the internet this morning and have concluded those actual scientists are wrong.“Experts say the documents show the fossil fuel industry had intimate involvement in the inception of modern climate science, along with its warnings of the severe harm climate change will wreak, only to then publicly deny this science for decades and fund ongoing efforts to delay action on the climate crisis.

This is not exactly true in my experience, FWIW. I have both been on the academic side being funded by the private sector and in the private sector paying for research to be done by academia. In all my experience the way research was done and conclusions received were not influenced by what results the sponsor was looking for.
What will happen, and could be considered questionable, is that if results are contrary to what the sponsor is hoping for, then that research won't get published.

America’s biggest energy scam is happening now
The unholy alliance between America’s governments and the fossil fuel industry has been going on for decades, undeterred and unpunished.

@Red, do you recognize that is a paid advertisement? It was authored by Presidential Climate Action Project as part of an effort to institute an emissions trading system, and it was paid for by corporate emissions trading brokers.America’s biggest energy scam is happening now

The Falklands have just become the most valuable piece of real estate on earth
According to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week, Russia has discovered an oil field in Antarctica roughly ten times the size of the North Sea’s entire 50 year output. Much of the field is believed to be in the Weddell sea, just to the east of the Antarctic...
Why experts are worried about Russia's oil and gas surveys in the Antarctic
Russia has insisted it is only in Antarctica for scientific research purposes, but the discovery of a huge reserve of oil and gas has raised alarm bells.

Florida flooding puts DeSantis' delusional climate agenda in focus
Ron DeSantis and his MAGA backers have put their thumb on the scale for climate change denial in Florida. And as the state floods, Democrats are reminding voters of that fact.

If you live in a part of the country that over a 24-hour period can receive 20-inches of rainfall from a tropical storm making landfall and the highest elevation is a freeway overpass, there is going to be flooding.The idiotic governor from the state where “woke goes to die”.

Ya I mean if you are already at sea level for most of your state and the sea level is rising..... Then since there is a lot of sand in the state there are lots of places to just stick your head and drown.The idiotic governor from the state where “woke goes to die”. Once in “a thousand years”?

Yes, it’s the “once in a thousand years event” that I found likely optimistic. And the idiots with their heads in the giant sandbar known as Florida. Still above water at low tide….

Agreed. That part is silly. We're still within 100 years of the Labor Day Hurricane (1935) which had a low pressure of only 892 millibars, a number that has never been equaled anywhere in the US and is within 12 millibars of the lowest ever recorded on this planet outside of a tornado.
