A friend from high school’s parents were vehemently, angrily, argue-with-kids-in-the-car in denial of climate change and 15 years later they have moved to the border of Canada because the winters in southern new england aren’t the same anymore and the summers are even more uncomfortably hot and humid.
Per my friend, they are still positive that climate change is a big hoax and have a list of confabulated explanations for why that’s as long as ever. (I remember one frequent highlight being that you can’t trust historic temperature readings, because the scientists just “changed how they read the temperature,” because they “want more funding”. It always came back to the duplicitous capture of “funding.”)
It just seems like a completely different view of the world at its fundamentals.
- kevviiinn 3y ago"Different view" is an interesting way of saying "completely misunderstanding"
- wrycoder 3y agoThere is local climate change and there is global climate change. The “climate change caused by CO2” argument is about the latter, local change goes on continuously. The average global troposphere temperature change over the last forty years is half a degree centigrade. That would not cause someone to move.
