Comment on /c/OptimistsUnite - dispelling inaccurate doomer myths and showing how we are living in the best time in recorded history

It’s certainly a nice idea for a community, but there’s already content in there that can be used to spread/reinforce climate change denial.

For example, this chart showing the decline of air pollution deaths: reddthat.com/post/16771065. That’s exactly the kind of thing that right wingers point to and scream “See? Fewer people are dying, the planet is fine!” Again, the intent is admirable, but this kind of content is ripe for repackaging as anti-climate propaganda. It’s going to do more harm than good if you collect it all in one place like this.
