I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    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.

        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.

        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.

      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.
