I answered, you moved the goal-posts, you'll keep pestering and acting like I didn't answer until you get an answer you deem to be correct.
You bore me.

The one that denies climate change because Lena and Martian Manhunter took the other side of immigration.

What does the ideal climate change denier look like in your mind?

Someone who denies climate change? Idk, honestly not sure what you're getting at.

I'm asking what more you think the writers should have done to represent the 'other side' of the climate change debate.
"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll justassume the worst."

Nothing. I'm not criticizing. I wasn't fully paying attention to the episode, but from what I saw, Supergirl didn't favor one
side
all that much, and really just brought awareness to the idea of climate change as a topic of interest.

In all fairness they did turn the doctor who the episode's embodiment of climate change acceptance into one of Superman's most monsterous villians.

Yep.. I read that part as a stab at climate activists myself.

If this show pushes a liberal agenda, what would the Conservative agenda be? If you want a show with no agenda, that isn't possible for life does address the social and economic issues that affect us.

Well.. We know with the elections they did put a some stuff in there but to be fair, they took shots at all sides and they have certainly done that in other instances as well. As to Climate change skepticism .. (denier isn't the right word and is insulting actually considering it's origins pertaining to the Jewish community and some denying the holocaust even happening) I wouldn't read to much into it.
They are only skimming the surface and as with astra not really putting the radical activism in a good light either. Aside from some stuff regarding feminism they haven't really gotten all preachy. Hope they never do.
