> At some point public interest turned against cigarettes too despite moneyed interests being in favor of poisoning millions...

Wrong again. The monied interests turned against smoking first and then the public followed with "ads". You seem to think a couple of relatively small tobacco companies is "monied interests". You ignore everyone else with lot more money. The elites stopped smoking cigarettes much sooner than the masses. It's why we have the trope of the execs of tobacco industry not smoking. The masses initially resisted bans on smoking/etc. It took years/decades of studies/ads/propaganda by "monied interests" to sway the mindset of a significant portion of the public. This is true of everything from civil rights to gay rights and in between. The monied interests decide on something and they chip away with propaganda and "studies" and whatever to get what they want.

Your comments are so out of touch with reality it's hard to take you seriously. As I said, everyone from the world bank to goldman sachs to google to the UN to every major government ( US, China, Russia, EU, etc ) and every major financial institution ( IMF, FED, ECB, etc ) are backing climate change.

Now obviously there are some faction monied interest against climate change, but they are miniscule compared to the monied interests that are pro-climate change.

As I said, if you were right, google would be banning pro-climate change propaganda. Not anti-climate change propaganda.

> Climate change is a real issue and the overwhelming fact is we have a huge hand in the multitude of maladies that plague our planet and if we don't do something beyond trivial tokens like recycling a coke bottle we are all fucked.

Then stop using the internet. Stop consuming. Be the change you want to see in the world.

"Swipes"? The guy was claiming that monied interests isn't pro-climate. That's as out of tourch with reality as a flat earther.

> (No, it's not because of your views.)

Oh STFU you worthless rat. Everyone knows it is. There is two sides to a "flamewar" and you only seem to ban one side. Not to mention you post a bunch of flamebait garbage yourself.

> and please don't create accounts to break them with.

What a miserable garbage you are. Make HN a private forum then.

Imagine wasting your life as a moderator. Your parents must be proud.
