    The right ring hate for climate change is truly remarkable, and spread to my family in recent years.

    I honestly don’t get it. Ignoring it is one thing, but viewing it as an actively malicious, hysterical “belief” that should be mocked? Like, if they’re watching a nature documentary and it’s brought up (cause, you know, they’re literally conservationists filming this stuff in real time; how could they not bring it up?), they make these crude, mocking jokes about it.

    And I’m talking about doctors and other science believing, educated professionals.

    It’s… weird.

    And it’s getting worse.

      It’s their media. It’s Newsmax, Fox, right wing TikTok, X.

      The American Petroleum Institute has owned media that push their narrative for more than 4 decades. They need to pay for the crimes they’ve committed to destroy the world we live in. You should read The Ministry for the Future.

      its a decades in the making by right wing/oil propaganda, the industry backed “eco-protestors that are defacing public properties” were primarly funded by oil/gas industry in order to turn the public against protesting. just like they did with funding "companies that tell you to buy thier eco-friendly products, so they dont have to reduce thier own co2 emissions or lower thier carbon footprint.
