    People really, really don’t like hearing the truth when it’s bad news. Not all of us are blind however.

      It’s not the truth though, and this is the kind of mindset that allows politicians to get away with sloppy climate policies (or none at all).

        even in research you cant “say climate change caused by people” otherwise you wont get grant funding, thats how in denial people are.

          Yeah in America maybe, politicians in Europe mostly acknowledge climate change is real and caused by human activity. However, they often think that climate policies are too expensive and unreasonable, without considering how fucking expensive dealing with the results of climate change will be in the future. Probably because they’re old and likely dead by then, so they don’t care.

          And mindsets like “we can’t stop it” and “it’s already too late” only contribute to these ideas of climate policies being a nuisance rather than a necessity.
