    It’s starting to sound like those cults who predict the end of the world every 10 years.

    People have been trying to get people to care for 60 - 100 years with data and projections and it has done nothing.

    Let the data speak for itself. Show the models and the projected results. I truly believe that we are in a dire position, but the current method of communication is not working.

    As above, this was the first thing that was tried and it doesn’t work, why would it work now?

    Also, I don’t believe the feedback mechanisms are ever emphasised enough. Climate change isn’t linear and global temperatures will increase exponentially, even if our rate of emissions increases linearly over time. Warmer air holds more water vapor and melting permafrost releases additional greenhouse gases, both exacerbating the greenhouse effect.

    True, but if we can’t get people to care at all, they won’t care about the nuance
