you must live in a conservative place where climate change denial is a part of their cultural-political identity ... it's the exact opposite where I live - strangers I chat with in a waiting room will openly and proudly state they believe in climate change in the midst of an otherwise banal discussion of the weather.
Ive never heard an IRL person say they believe in climate change, ever.
To me, "believing" in climate change is like "believing" in oxygen. I don't feel the need to say I believe in it. That's fascinating
WTH do you live? We talk about it plenty where I live.
Magaland.
All you'll hear here on a cold day is "Ha global warming amiright!!?" I'm not joking either. Or they complain the democrats are cloud seeding to change weather for immigrants.
I never knew I was surrounded by such dummies.
Over here there's plenty who believe in climate change, but they think it's neat that we now have the climate in the Netherlands that Paris used to have in the eighties. There's also plenty who insist that the climate has always changed while ignoring that we see changes occuring thousands of times faster than before. And there's a group who'll say sure, but it's not something we can change, so no use trying.
