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.
Either way it says about the same about Americans as
Environmentalists. You have a certain portion who are educated,
another portion who are uneducated, and the rest who are badly
missinformed -- The proportion varies a LOT depending on what part of
the country you are in, among other "variables"
