Empiricism

#climate #disinfromation (AKA greenwashing)

In the mainstream media (the largest audience) - many people trust people that are either untrustworthy or greenwashed themselves. Many don't question authority (e.g., politicians & business "leaders") They support the people they trust (AKA faith)

Many people are scientifically illiterate, but, they don't think that's a problem (how would they know?)

They don't realize that the politician is a #FossilFuel lobbyist.
