    The obstacle preventing liberals from addressing climate change is conservatives.

          Corporate funding of political campaigns and lobbying for laws that benefit and shield them from consequences.

          No, corporate funding of liberal politicians’ reelection campaigns.

            Corporate funding of projects that change climates, do not help reduce climate change bud.

              It’s true that corporate projects change the climate, but I’m pretty sure that isn’t what @nosuchanon was talking about. The “funding” phrasing is the clue: when corporations harm the climate they’re usually just doing it directly through their own actions, not “funding” some other entity. And also, “projects that change climates” aren’t “the obstacle preventing liberals.”
