I think you've fallen victim to propaganda about how much propaganda each side has put out.

  You're deep in it, aren't you? Oh well! The reality of the situation is already making itself obvious. Come out to the small coastal town I've spent the last few months in and try telling the people here that hurricanes aren't getting worse. Try to work out why everyone who can afford to do so has been getting their whole house lifted up off its foundation, onto stilts... But this place is not special, this kind of thing is happening everywhere. You can see it easily enough, if you let yourself look. Up to you. Can't blame you for wanting excuses to ignore it, though; the future we are barrelling along into is a scary place.

    You know, people 200 years ago in coastal towns would have told you the same things. Flooding is worse, more bad weather etc. It's a terrible data point. There is plenty of data that supports climate change, on a Global scale. Whether it kills millions or billions or nobody at all is simply a question of attribution.

      Well, yes - you know that, and I know that; but I thought perhaps someone who can't accept the scientific consensus might find the personal choices made by residents of a conservative small town to be more relatable. Of course everywhere you go there are stories like this; whether people openly accept the reality of climate change or not, they are adapting, and you can see it wherever you look.
