So there's really no difference between doing nothing, and donating to FUD campaigns against climate science? They're both equally active in their support for fossil fuels, both equally "apolitical"? Or have you diluted the term "apolitical" to the point of meaninglessness, if it can describe such wildly different behavior?

Would you describe yourself as "actively supporting" Kony (or some other, similar warlord)?

No one said equally active.

This is an extreme example but imagine someone knocks on your door and says “help, the secret police are after me.”

You don’t help them, and, you don’t turn them in.
