Climate change. Only recently people became so vocal about this and everyone began repeting climate change. Fortunately at least Greta Thunberg was arrested for invading oil platform
Oh so close! It looks like you fell for The Big Lie™️
The answer we were looking for is - Oil companies spending decades telling everyone fossil fuels didn’t cause destruction of our environment and climate!
If only there was decades of peer reviewed scientific research, from countless reputable independent sources, that countlessly pressure tested each other’s work and overwhelmingly showed that man made climate was real.
Until that’s the case, I guess I’ll just listen to what the oil companies say. They probably know best.
Recently, eh?
You consider the 1800's recent? Because there were news articles reporting on the issue back then.
Here's an article from 1896 for you to read over, provided you care about learning how you're wrong.
Depending on where you live, how has home insurance gone in the last 10 years? Trust the money.
You're right, follow the money. My homeowner's rate doubled this year, but at least my insurance co. didn't pull out of my state. They know we are seeing climate change.
In addition to the money, the military, too. I suppose that the climate conspiracy theorists will just expand the imagined scope of the theory to say that the money people are in on the scam to extract wealth from the rest of us, and that Pentagon is in on it for, I dunno, reasons? (Seems like it already does okay on funding.)
As well as the oil companies themselves, somehow? I'd be interested to hear how they benefit from putting forth climate change lies in their internal memos, just to spend a lot of money suppressing the same information in public.
Maybe because it started affecting them?
No, it's because she's not a minor anymore, so she can be arrested for spreading such a hoax and invading private property. You see, free speech doesn't guaratee one to spread false information and misinforming people worldwide while being funded by the EV industry. If she continues with that, she will likely rot in jail along with her followers.
Lolwut?
You can't be serious.
EV industry: 1 billion in annual revenue
Oil industry: 5 trillion in annual revenue
Where have you been this last few years? Do you live on another planet? Are you really so out of touch with reality? I hope at least you have an economic interest in this, because otherwise you are really pathetic.
The smoothest of brains. Thoughts just cascade off it.
Is Al gore recent? What about George H.W. Bush’s first presidential campaign?
