isn't there kind of a huge difference, regarding climate change, with using fossil fuels for plastics, etc, and burning them for energy?
Like - plastics (particularly in the ocean) do present a massive issue, but they're dwarfed by the problem that is C02 and climate change?
This doesn’t say anything about plastics vs using oil as fuel. When you’re making big accusations about misinformation you should probably be clear and accurate in your journalism
Textbook example of climate misinformation. People are talking about not using fossil fuels. Nobody's talking about banning tires or lotions. (Well, I mean, nobody who's being taken seriously. I'm sure you'll find a few village idiots wanting to go back to wooden chariots, if you look hard enough.)
From the article: “Some of the most significant tactics found included tying the use of oil and gas to maintaining a high quality of life”

We MUST prioritize R&D for precisely the things you mention, but the onus is on industry to adapt, not stymie necessary conversations and necessary change.
Get on board
At that point unless you can factually prove your accusations you are basically slandering.
Until then it’s basically them spreading misinformation about what quality of life without fossils is like.
This is such a gray and difficult area this propaganda pretending to be journalism is ridiculous.
