Oil companies sold the public on a fake climate solution -- and swindled taxpayers out of billions

8. I've been saying CC was a distraction, a hoax for years.

Lots of people, including quite a few here at DU bought into it.

Propaganda works.

Maybe people should stop sitting back letting the "experts" and politicians come up with changes and actually listen to the climatologists and activists, especially the young ones who have been blaring the tornado sirens for years. But no, the complacent, the ignorant and what it really boils down to is the selfish ones would rather attack the protestors for the absolute HORROR, I tell you, the HORROR of throwing washable paint on artwork they know is protected by plexiglass, or onto Stonehenge rocks or possibly blocking the road to a concert or golf game.

If your response to those things was "oh my god they ruined a Monet" (big fat lie and shows ignorance or deception about how activism works) or a demand to jail them and call them stupid terrorists because "we already know about climate change!" -

Then you totally missed the point. You did not hear their message. Their target is TPTB who will eventually have to address the FF corruption that they've been involved with for decades. When enough of the masses want change they usually get it.

But I'm afraid it's probably too late now.
