> the headlines on climate are irrefutable
That would be a first for journalism in its long history. Why can't people accept that headlines on climate are as clickbaity as headlines on just anything else?
Edit: also being downvoted for pointing out that newspapers headlines are clickbaity is a first :)
- Khanhanhan 7y agoHeadlines can be both, clickbaity and irrefutable.
- Dumblydorr 7y agoThe headlines may be faulty, but the broader point is climate is rapidly changing and every action we take is one less drop in the bucket.
- Udik 7y agoI agree, there's a lot of solid science, confirmed by what we're measuring year after year. Climate change is happening and CO2 emissions are a major cause, or the only one. But we should not underestimate the power of a decades-long daily stream of clickbaity headlines on the same topic, all skewed in the same direction- the catastrophic one, the one that spreads fear and incites indignation. Nobody is immune to it, not even scientists are.
- robin_reala 7y agoNot the only one by a long shot. Methane (from cattle and melting permafrost) is a dramatically worse greenhouse gas than CO2.
