I find describing Climate change is easier when you explain it like milk going bad. You can have milk that's old and fine, and then bang, the next night it's bad in a big way. The change in that milk was happening all along, it just took the right amount of time to get past that tipping point, then things got really bad.
A LOT of the CC talk in the media is too complex, abstract and focuses on engineering or financial concepts that many people don't really grapple with day to day.
TV shows like Clarksons Farm are better at conveying the complexity of the changes.
- Scarblac 2y agoI explain it using clouds. Most people know that a clear sky at night means it cools off a lot more than when there are clouds. The effect of CO2 in the atmosphere is less than that, but it's always there. The amount can be measured with CO2 meters, and it's going up. You just don't see the cloud because CO2 is transparent.
