The corporations now pausing donations to riot supporters all know all the facts about climate change. That's why they spend tens of million to hundreds of millions a year on marketing campaigns to convince the public— because it's killing people and promoting bias. They can't be seen as supporting that, or they'll lose customers.
The only reason corporations haven't stopped donations to climate deniers like they have election deniers is because their greenwashing campaigns have worked. People simply aren't as angry about the fact that they bankroll climate violence as they are about the fact that they bankroll political violence. The backlash for funding the destruction of the planet does not currently threaten their short-term profits in a meaningful way.
Corporate America may not consider climate misinformation as big a threat as election misinformation when it comes to their profits. But both represent the same threat to democracy. The violent political chaos we’re living through today exists because Americans are living in separate realities with separate facts. That didn’t happen by accident; it happened because, and Corporate America rewarded them with power.
Election denial might be the most abhorrent political misinformation of the moment. But climate denial is the original and everlasting sin. It showed Republicans that lying was not only inconsequential, but beneficial. If lawmakers continue to be rewarded for lying about something as important as planetary collapse, it’s only a matter of time before the next riot-inspiring misinformation campaign begins. The beast will not die until its head is cut off.
