It's not just corporations, Ayiekie. The idea that mankind can inflict catastrophic changes upon the ecosystem flies in the face of the core belief systems of many fundamentalists (not just Christians, though it's mostly Christians who make the noise), who can't imagine that the World What's Built By God could be knocked that far out of whack by the actions of insignificant mortals. If it's happening at all, which they won't admit to because that's an attack on the "unchanging world without end" implicitly and explicitly invoked in their belief system, it must be something else causing it. Probably God, for his own ineffable reasons, or Satan, just for the Evulz.
And at the risk of upsetting Logan, I speculate that for conservatives and reactionaries (independent of religion), it's something similar. The idea that the very nature of the world is changing in ways that might be unstoppable, and that these changes are in large part caused by industry, is so alien to the philosophical and economic axioms on which their credos are based that they don't want to believe it.
