Want Action? Start Embarrassing Climate Change Deniers

The fossil fuel industry is one of the top Republican campaign funders, so it’s no surprise that so many of our elected officials refuse to believe the science behind climate change. In spite of the best efforts of activists, corporate money is just too strong. So maybe it’s time to try a new tactic, and to put the spotlight on these industry-funded, climate change denying fools.

money trumps embarrassment.

They don't give a crap if we point fingers at them, they'll just laugh and drive off in their lobbyist paid Mercedes.

to the realities of climate change.

What I usually tell them is 97% of climate scientist believe in man made climate change. The other 3% are paid shills from industry who get way more than their fair share of media exposure due to the money and lobbying envolved. "Do you wish to remain their ignorant Dupe?" I tell them straight up that they are being played, no one likes to be played.
