People picking on the argument's merit based on you using hyperbole is something that the ER and Just Stop Oil activists are used to. Saying: "our planet is gradually getting hotter, due to (preventable) man-made changes like extraction and burning of fossil fuels, raising cattle on an industrial scale, and cutting down forests, so wild fires are becoming statistically more prevalent and damaging" doesn't quite have the same ring as: "we are literally about to BOIL/BURN". I think both approaches have been tried, and both showed not much tangible result for the effort. > You cannot reach anyone that you need to reach in order to effect changes with that type of thing I don't want to reach the people, they should have come to that conclusion themselves and be demanding change from their governments and industries. If that's happening only in such a small scale now, then not enough people have understood the severity of the problem. When the problem becomes more evident and impossible to ignore by even the ones most complacent, when there is no bird song, no living animals, trees, bushes, plants, then it will be too late for anything else but the pitchforks and torches that I mentioned above, which I find to be a pity.
