Many people would rather everyone suffer pollution and climate catastrophe than those people have a nice life.

This is true for so many of the world's problems and it's disgusting.

Nah, they choose to believe it's a hoax because they're kinda rich and don't want to lower their standard of living. And the others believe the lies about the environment because they're bundled with the lies about brown people.

I expect that's some people, yeah. Accepting that climate change is real means accepting uncomfortable ideas. Like that they're responsible, at least a little.

Some people can't accept that they're everything less than a saint. You tell them that walking to the store is better for them and the environment than driving and they go berserk. Can't handle the implication that they're not perfectly faultless.
