    Convinced this is part of why we're seeing a resurgence in UFO/UAP/Whatever discourse, especially on the right. Even if you don't "believe" in climate change, it's pretty undeniable that something is wrong. And if you read a lot of the UFO crowd comments (which I do for some reason) they all believe the government has been withholding secret alien unlimited clean energy technology. Essentially wunderwaffe for climate change.

    Editing to add that I'm glad I don't have children. I can't possibly imagine trying to explain to them the world they're going to inherit.

        I’m American so it’d be illegal for me to explain it to any kids in the class

      My relatives think that the government is directly controlling the weather to make people think global warming is real.

      Like the wildfires in Quebec that blanketed the east coast with smoke last month? They weren't caused be an unprecedentedly dry and warm winter, further exasperated by years of forest firefighting budgets being slashed by conservative provincial governments. Nah, the governments are setting the fires on purpose because "there's no way a fire can get that big on its own."

        Your relatives will drink bleach if somebody forbids them from doing so.

        You know what you have to do.

      Not joking. I just explain that they live in a bourgeois dictatorship and that even though a lot of people will tell you otherwise, the history of the Soviet Union offers a lot of lessons about a path forward.
