I think the original sin of climate change communication was fixating on average temperature rise. Even 5°C doesn't sound terrible when you think all you'll get is current climate plus a flat 5°C offset. 1.5 sounds barely noticeable. I think a lot of people heard, meh it's gonna be imperceptibly warmer, I don't care about some polar bears.
