But climate change doesn’t really operate under the same parameters of politics in so far as there’s only but so far you can “sell it” to people on the street level. There is info. out there as to how limiting CO2 can help people but if they still don’t think it applies to them, I don’t see what else can be said/done to prove it.
In many ways, climate change is visual and has direct effects. It operates on a somewhat sharp level. If you can’t see it and you don’t believe that it affects you, where do you go from there? You’ve got to have a population at least willing to open their minds to it.
@jakester You make a good point: climate change isn’t really about “belief”. There is actual evidence that supports it. It’s not a theory. It’s like I said about tigers: if I show you a pic of a tiger (or an actual tiger) and you say that you don’t believe it exists or that it’s an actual tiger or whatever, then what?
@26degreesrising Of course there’s an economic argument. But Rump’s supporters don’t see renewable energy as economically viable. For a variety of reasons, they think coal and gas are economically viable and tangible. Wind, solar, biofuels are just pie in the sky.
