And because people fight against you. Like the mainstream media, which continues to treat Climate Change like an issue where well meaning people could just disagree. They don’t do that with the flat earth people.
Why do you think entities like the NYT and WAPO still publish articles saying we shouldn’t worry about global warming? And then defend their writers from readers who challenge them on facts?
“Rich Posert of Portland, Ore., said he would be happy to see a libertarian on the Op-Ed pages, or someone like Ross Douthat, another Times conservative columnist. But Posert said he doesn’t understand giving a platform to a columnist he sees as intentionally casting doubt on climate science. “It’s just too important,” Posert said. What made matters worse was when he saw the comments of two Times editors dismissing angry readers as people who reject free speech or alternative viewpoints. That’s when he canceled his subscription.”
Facts ought to matter more than marketing opportunities. But they don’t. And that makes activism useless, because even when activists say true things, there is more money in lying.
