> climate-change denier to a believer?
So even if someone is fine with climate change, or doesn't believe it, or doesn't think we can do anything about it, or doesn't think we are causing it.
I use another angle: pollution.
Trying to improve our air quality to help reduce instances of various illnesses and/or trying to reduce landfill etc
Most people want things like cleaner air, or less exposure to harmful chemicals in plastics, or safe drinking water. People are more invested in things when doing so can directly benefit them (or they perceive that it can). With climate change we get a lot of vague narratives, some doubt, and a bunch of varying predictions (for example 20 years ago I was told in school we could have as little as 20 years left of fossil fuels...)
