Rising climate scepticism shows 'vested interests propaganda machine is working'

ONE in four British citizens believe that concerns about climate change have been exaggerated, according to research published today, with campaigners warning that propaganda on behalf of vested interests is working. The research, carried out for the Times by YouGov and the opinion consultancy Public First, was compared with another study carried by the newspaper in 2021.Since then, the number of Britons who think the dangers of global warming have been exaggerated has soared by more than 50 per cent, the survey suggested.

“While Whitehouse slams his fellow Democrats for timidity, he blasts Republicans for being in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry, an entity whose behavior ‘has been downright evil,’ he said. ‘To deliberately ignore [the laws of physics] for short-term profits that set up people for huge, really bad impacts—if that’s not a good definition of evil, I don’t know what is.’”

Their hiring comes after the #Trump admin dismissed hundreds of #scientists & #experts who had been compiling the #FederalGovernment’s flagship report on how climate change is affecting the country. The admin has also systematically removed mentions of #ClimateChange from govt websites while slashing federal #funding for research on #GlobalWarming.
