Just had a conversation with my brother where he said verbatim, "I get climate change is a big deal, but didn't we already solve most of the issues?" I don't think it can be understated how little the lay person understands the actual consequences climate change is going to have, and whenever I try to infrom him I get labeled as hyperbolic and too susceptible to fear mongering. Because they aren't literally burning to death today, people don't care.
I used to say that maybe something drastic would help wake everyone up to the danger that we're in, but the rub is that dratic things are happening now and people will bend over backwards to explain away as anything but ckimate change. Half of Canada is on fire, temperature records are being broken monthly, and it still isn't enough.
