I believe that CC is a problem that I am 100% behind but how do we avoid this piggy backing and hijacking of CC initiatives to further some other agenda? Say increase profit margins or green wash people? Just recently I stayed in a Marriott hotel and my entire experience was marred with CC warning labels everywhere from Toiletteries to free breakfast in the morning. You know what would be better for CC? That hotel to not exist in the first place. There is no end in sight and no limit to what can be done for CC. So you have this unlimited power from random authorities masquerading behind CC. I think the problem with Climate Change movement is sort of like COVID. Restroom closed? Because COVID. Public Park Trail closed? COVID. Wtf!? No one challenges it. No is allowed to. It has all these side effects. We ought to double-down where things actually matter for the betterment of the planet and speak up against this other non-sense.

It doesn't seem that hard to differentiate "Marriott is washing towels less often to save money, not because they care about saving water" from someone claiming that climate change isn't happening...

It's a bandwagon thing. Founders and early joiners of a movement are very different from people who join after a movement is already successful/catching on (perhaps widely or perhaps in one area/subculture). After something becomes so successful that you can't challenge it in any way (at least in some circles) it takes on the characteristics you describe. If someone pokes you in the eye and says it's for climate change, you can't say anything. None of this has to do with the accuracy of the original movement. CC can be very real and abused by politicians and other opportunists.
