That reminds me of some TV show where they were talking about
"environmental" groups that were really just political and knew nothing
about the environment. A lot of people would sign a petition to ban
dihydrogen monoxide. Anyone asking what that is were told something like
"It's a chemical used in industrial processes, which gets into lakes and
rivers. People who have contact with it get cancer.".

Have you known anyone to ever fall for that trash?

The show he is talking about is Penn and Teller "Bull****" (on Amazon
Prime) and yes they did get a bunch of greenie weenies to sigh their
petition on camera. They have lots of fun with environmentalists.

As with all such programs (e.g. Leno's Man in the Street), they have
to interview 100 people to find two gullible suckers. One certainly
shouldn't draw any conclusions from such programs, other that you can
always find ignorance if you look for it hard enough.

In this particular case they got the organizer of the rally along with
some of the speakers.

Which is still a small fraction of the number of people that they had
to interview to find a sucker. As I said, all it indicates is that you
can find ignorance if you look for it hard enough. It doesn't say
anything about environmentalists as a group.

If they got the people who organized the rally and the people who
spoke, it does point out how easily that crowd was swayed.
It probably had more to do with the mindset of the people who go to
these things. They were there to be ****ed off about anything that was
presented and this was presented in that venue.
I do find people who identify as environmentalists are quick to
condemn damned near anything if it is presented right. It is more like
a cult religion as opposed to the science of ecology.
