Giving a major voice to the deniers while dismissing the looming reality. Then when the shit hits the fan claim your opposed to it while still continuing to trumpet they very industries and practices that got us here. Sounds like a Wall St investor. "Climate change is a serious problem! Someone should try to slow its progress! Thank God it has nothing to do with me!"
