    Because denial isn’t over because corporations who make their money off things that make climate change worse spend tons of money to manufacture disinformation and continue to mislead people just like they’ve been doing for over 50 years.

      Yeah. I’m in Appalachia where most everyone I went to school with believes whatever latest variation of climate-denial messaging their ridiculous right-wing media ecosystem spits out this week. Obviously a lot of money still funneled into promotion of these ideas. Watched a bunch die unnecessarily of COVID when that same messaging was telling them vaccines were more dangerous than the virus.
