If people were actually educated instead of lied to, we'd be a lot further down the road in terms of evolving ourselves and our technologies.
If people understood the simple promise of Communism -- to destroy the West (the middle class) and to re-enslave the people, they'd see these lies for what they are -- attacks on the middle class, freedom, and prosperity.
When people get drawn in and begin to consider these narratives as put forth by the Communists/Elites, they go down the rabbit-hole.
For the past 100 years, we have been bombarded with lies about running out of oil (as if the earth stopped making it), about CO2 killing the planet (even though plants require it), and many other lies -- all of which are designed to get us to stop enjoying life.
"Make living in the West miserable and expensive." -- 1950s Communist propaganda
If you cannot consider that you've been lied to, consider Mark Twain's remark: "It is easier to fool someone, than to convince them they've been fooled."
Not being able to truly open your eyes is a flaw, not a virtue. There are many bonafide climate scientists who completely disagree with the idea we're changing the atmosphere. But they get no press. They're out there. They are more than qualified -- certainly more than lawyer Al Gore (who made $500M while screaming about the sky falling, then disappeared BEFORE any of his prediction dates.)
