Ecologists use their media presence to spread the idea that emission scandals destroy your brand. The (unfortunate, for them) truth is that people don't care.

I care deeply.

I drive a Diesel Super Duty, and almost bought a Ram Cummins when i bought it. I have a good friend who has worked for Cummins for 20 years, and many other friends with various diesel trucks.

I won't buy one of their products now because of this.

I deeply care, I'm right in the middle of their target demographic, and I have 40 years left of spending to do in my life.

Speak for yourself, I'll speak for me and my friends.

Do you think that Ford isn't capable of similar shenanigans?

Could you plausibly get your pickup-truck related work done with, say, a pair of Ardennaise draft horses?

Given the amount of unnecessary shite in the air, I'll guess you're about 11 years old and not expecting things to improve much.

"Ecologists" have more media-savvy and air-time than big brands, now?

[dfgfek]

Now and always, yes. You can read any mass media newspaper website and you will find global warming theory advocacy left and right. Whatever little greenwashing they publish paid by big oil pales in comparison to that.
