Because many of the laws they are concerned with also affect huge corporations that like to play dirty, and because the same circle of rich fucks have their fingers in everything, they tell sheep what to say or think. Said sheep are the ones that would say recycling is good to your face but take up for a company polluting an entire river if Bill O'Reilly told him that stopping them is AN ATTACK ON SMALL BUSINESS or similar.
If the Koch brothers funded this study you can bet your last dollar it was because they were trying to buy favorable results.

I'd say it is partly that but partly people are correctly skeptical after other big lies like "acid rain". Plus, on the "correct" side are just more billionaires who want to control the laws being made so that they benefit.
Either way it is being told what to do by someone who doesn't give a shit about you and just wants to control you.
Communism = give what you can, take what you need (how'd that work out - they'll tell you what you can give and what you need; killed 20 times more people than hitler))
Joint farming = everyone works the land together (slavery and plummeting yields, then starvation)
Fighting Terrorism = preserving freedom all over the globe (enrich contractors who produce nothing while shredding the constitution)
"Big ideas" that can be said in two words and require "big sacrifices" and "new ways of doing things" are for controlling people. Both sides lie.
