That’s certainly not a good thing, but are we still under the impression that people learning about climate change is the primary hurdle to addressing it in a meaningful way? It seems pretty clear to me that we don’t want to address it and new information has no impact on that prevailing attitude.
IMO, political will is the biggest bottleneck in this transition. If we decide to make fossil fuels expensive, they will be. Politicians just don’t seem to want that for some reason.
Delusional conspiracy trash is another issue, but I think that’s a secondary problem. Most likely, politicians just appeal to conspiracy BS because of economic short term reasons. It’s not about what they know or believe about the climate.

Making it hard to learn the details is one of many actions they’re taking. People in general are really confused about what is needed, which makes meaningful action harder.
