    It’s always the rate of change.

    I remember a few years ago people arguing the temperatures have changed before and that theres billions spent on climate change and it’s all propaganda.

    They wouldn’t listen to the rate of change argument then or acknowledge the trillions spent in industries causing climate change. I’m not sure they’ve changed their minds still ( I refused to engage them any further) but this is the challenge - so many people believe what they want to believe and don’t want the hard truth.

      The Inconvenient Truth. That was so aptly named. Humans will do anything for the sake of convenience and climate change is quite inconvenient. Maybe if we make burning up the planet MORE inconvenient then it will change. Ridiculous taxes for carbon output sounds nice. Those tax dollars then spent on cloud seeding for the short term and carbon capture for the long term.

      A lot of people love rationalising their own beliefs but hate reasoning out what’s right and wrong. It makes me lose faith in humanity.
