It’s common sense, but obfuscated by those still spending millions to deny climate change while the world literally burns around us. Gaslighting is a hell of a propaganda technique.

Gaslighting is old-hat man.
Nowadays it’s kitchen-faucet-lighting.

also funding things like curbing your carbon footprint companies, so these pollutors dont need to lower thier emissions.

Yes, this is a problem much better solved on an institutional scale best served by government regulations, not by individuals doing their part. These companies you mention attempt to shift the burden of responsibility onto those with the least power to affect any real change. It’s diabolical.

I was talking to a coworker at my last job about how fracking introduces dangerous chemical into the water supply, and a random guy we never talk to came up and said “OH YOU’RE WRONG ABOUT FRACKING” like his job depended on it… we were not at all related to fracking
