First, it's called "virtue signalling" and second, it's no secret that companies like Shell and Exxon knew about the catastrophic effects of climate change already in the 80s and yet they attacked other scientists who came to the same conclusion and blocked political efforts to curb fossils: https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97...
Blaming average people for not trusting or understanding the science when corporations actively tried to discredit said science is just wrong.
