The 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.
