This thread is weird to me. How are so many in the dark about the fact that it's mainly corporate PR that are behind all off the confusion about dangerous consequences from both energy-, agri-, and chemistry business? Energy companies have known about potential catastrophic consequences for years, scientists have known, people living in nature have known. People are "confused", doesn't get the urgency or simply ignore the issue because of PR, astroturfing and corporate campaigns. It's all because of huge corporations hiring armies of lawyers, marketing people and greenwashing lobbyists that write both the laws and the news. (*see my sources if you doubt this ) Forget about the politicians and the consumers - they have been massively propagandized by a conglomeration of enormous agricultural and energy sector companies for half a century. Seriously it's __well described and documented__ and has been since Exxon found out about climate change and hid its own findings in the 70's. How do you some of you people know so little about the culprit, and instead blame mostly consumers or the politicians who are bought by corporations? There is no debate and hasn't been for decades - the culprit is growth capitalism and the mega-corps that ruthlessly lie and distort in service of profits. This has happened for over 100 years when US car manufacturers killed public transport in the US, and Edward Bernays created modern public PR, that apparently is working frighteningly well still.
