> If society had wanted straight talking, we wouldn’t be in this situation. USA is by far the worst climate change offender, and USA uses way more alarmist messaging than any other country I've seen. So to me it looks like alarmist messaging makes it worse, not better. Facts and honesty does help, big tobacco lost, tons of countries all over the world have already added plans to ban fossil fuel cars in about a decade etc. The caveat is that it takes decades for that change to happen, and US "scientists" seems to always want to sway the current election in their favor, so they happily sacrifice trust and long term get those small short term wins.
