    It’s the fault of politicians who underfunded or hobbled education. Helped with the factors you mentioned of course, but if average people were better educated they could better grasp the big picture.

      We could only hope, yet well-educated people still believe gods who will come fix everything are self-evident facts of reality. Still, being better educated certainly wouldn’t make things worse.

      It’s the fault of politicians …

      … who are funded by Big Carbon.

      This is not about personal responsibility, it is about power. No amount of education protects you from misinformation, or a lack of information, when powerful people have a financial interest in burying the truth.
