Ahh but that's what the democrats do, hire marketing consultants who tell them to spend huge amounts of money on ineffective TV ads.
Could I suggest some psychologists and sociologists instead?
Theres been a whole bunch of research into why people are ignoring global warming, and its pretty clear making logically consistent arguments based on evidence is ineffective in the face of many people who primarily desire to fit in with their peer group
Global warming is slow not he cause people don't care, but because oil.lords bribe politicians to lie, to pretend, to fake, and the oil lords support them with MASSIVE public lying, filling films with lies.
All delay is paid for obstruction by oil lords.
Biden arranged a trillion dollars in New Energy. The oil lord's tiny handed bitch Donny, is trying to cancel as much as he can.
There's plenty of people who are not manipulated into following the oil companies, they're doing it because it supports their self image.
A bunch of conservative men hate environmentalist positions because they think caring about the environment is feminine.
"The next time was when I read a study showing the demographic makeup of climate deniers. Turns out they’re overwhelmingly conservative white males. Researchers attributed this in part to their desire to “protect their cultural identity”—big, strong, fearless men. Researchers also attributed it to their desire to maintain the economic system that disproportionately benefits them.
Small minorities, probably unreachable because evil, or paycheck, or incellification.
WE, the vast majority, understand, we demand, we expect.
It is purposeful misdirection, lies, purposeful destruction, like the orange peckerwood does, that delay us.
Victims understand, climate assaulters not changing their mind.
Remove the bribed liars. Thats the blockage.
Its Trudeau and Carney, not my neighbours.
Canada is delusional, points out UN Sec Gen. Guterres
Small minority appears to mean "majorities in the USA, Canada, UK, Egypt and Russia"
At least based on the question "would you pay at least 1% of your income each month to fight global warming."
Most of the world is willing to pay though, and "in a large number of countries (81 of 125) the proportion is greater than two-thirds."

For a bunch of americans things like big cars represent their social status, and it is massively threatening to their self-identity to think they'd have to take public transit.
There are several oil lord programs running to keep pumping oil.
Depressing new energy activists and publuc by pretending nothing is being done.
Promoting politicians who pretend to be acting on clumate. Like the delusional Canadian government, which STILL spends billions on oil and spends nothing on New Energy.
Canadians THINK something is being done. CBC supports that created delusion.
Oil lords got rich driving us up this deadly dead end. Making workers pay is another trick.
Weird how committed you are.
Rich oil lords were told, so long ago it was CLOSER to the beginning of the industrial era than now, that carbon dioxide from burning coal would threaten the world. Decades of increased research, of increased warnings, presented to us and them.
The rich were told over and over their actions will cause crisis. The rich oil lords wrote lying science, bribed politicians, bought newspapers, to lie to us.
But despite these many evils, we know.
Ok, let me first do a bit of agreeing with you.
The oil companies have absolutely funded climate change denial programs and have made significant contributions to get pro-fossil fuel politicians elected.
However...
I have also tried to lobby for bike lanes and transit, and had to face down older white homeowners who complain that bike lanes and transit will let "those" people into their neighborhoods. (As far as I can tell "those" people means some combination of non-white and poor)
I think the local resistance to bike lanes, transit, or smaller more efficient multifamily homes is a good example of how large business interests and higher status people in a region who also want to maintain their social status & privilege work together to block significant climate actions.
