Are the ones you know who are climate change deniers the actual workers on the ground, or the owners of the farm who employs them? Because this article focuses on the migrant workers, who I assume are more accepting of it given their experience.
Yeah thats a good point. In my case it was both the owners and the workers. I think it was really just the result of poor education and being surrounded by people with the same. Very easy targets for conspiracy stuff. With one owner it wasnt even financial interest that prevented him from caring, because there were plenty of subsidies waiting for him if he followed better environmental rules. Dude was just a dumbass from what i could tell during my year of working with him :(
