Climate Change denial isn’t even the problem lol, it’s Climate Change indifference.
For every 1 Denier you have 1000 people who don’t deny it but don’t really care either.
Climate change indifference is climate change denial and it’s created the same way.
It is not an either/or situation. A good grounding in science and understanding of scientific principles goes a long way towards making the propaganda less effective. The lack of knowledge and critical thinking abilities fuel climate change denialism and acceptance of pseudo-science in the general public on all subjects.
On the other hand, a lot of people with good grounding in science fall for the greenwash that western liberal governments are selling. Merely being more educated doesn’t make people immune to manipulation, it just requires different packaging.

Thank you! I think their neoliberal stance isn’t a deliberate one, but an unconscious bias reinforced by the metrics of success they adopt when collating papers (e.g. GDP is sadly popular, and correlates with some kind of wealth increase which is more readily measurable than median income).
I will likely keep watching their videos, and continue to slightly raise an eyebrow on some of their more oddly-phrases premises.
