A very underrated comment. I think a lot of people, including some people in this thread, willfully avoid this reality. There is a danger in losing one's self in the romanticism of being a "Cassandra", instead of addressing the prerequisite to the required action -- belief. As with any war, correct messaging is vital to retain the public will in the fight. But as with any propaganda, dumbing the truth down might result in a lie. And once such a lie is uncovered and attacked, trust may never again recover (see Covid) and the fight will be forsaken. I think the only way out, the only way to convince the general public without them needing to understand the complexity of "why" is to pour immense resources into improving our prediction of near-term events. Only by demonstrably predicting earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, detailed weather patterns across the globe 6 months-a year in advance within a day/hour level of accuracy can we hope to convince the public that the models will be as relatively accurate when predicting earth's general characteristics decades into the future. After all, the grudging leeway the public gives doctors and practitioners of mainstream medicine does not seem to be a result of them being swayed by the medical arguments presented to them, but because they have witnessed their powers of healing first hand.
