This exactly.
Climate change sits exactly at the intersection of "probabilistic deniability of real-world ramifications" and "science poorly reported" (because the effects are subtle based on our day-to-day experiences, and because people don't understand or trust science) with a hefty dose of "vested interests in the opposition camp".
- lotsofpulp 6y agoI think the very root cause is that the only way to tackle climate change is to reduce fossil fuel usage, which is reducing quality of life, which is against everyone’s vested interest. After that, all the various excuses can come out like denying scientific data and whatnot. You can show all the proof to a drunk person that the next drink is going to harm them in the long run, but all they’re going to see is how to keep the high going for a little while longer.
