People living large on convenient, abundant, and cheap energy derived from fossil fuels largely want to doubt climate change.
The oil industry doesn't even need to make an effort to convince the public to keep using their products. It doesn't take anything to enable the masses to continue living lives they're already deeply entrenched in and thoroughly enjoying.
Frankly I'm surprised they've wasted so much money on the propaganda. The energy density of e.g. gasoline is quite a moat by itself. Perhaps it's more a liability issue?
