What comments we make vs what actions we take are two different things.
Better filters can do a lot for normal air pollution. You however can't do much with filters against CO2.
If you want to really filter out CO2 you have to store it in liquid form which is energy intensive and has potential problems with storing that liquid CO2.
Focusing on CO2 instead of general air pollution changes actions.

In addition making public comments is an action because it increases the power that a certain meme has in society. This is a forum with a lot of visitors and a good google ranking.
Ideas matter.

Wikipedia does not work on a bribe or pay system. Its a community based dictionary and its monitored and regulated by the community as a whole.
Exactly it's community based. You need a group of people with high standing inside the community and you can get everything you want.
Especially the anonymous nature makes it an easy target.

All big competent PR firms care about what written in Wikipedia about their clients and should influence the way Wikipedia presents a page about the topic they care about and participate inside the community.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
