Climate scientists say natural "anaesthetics" have been masking the true impact of climate change for years but have now worn off. Here's why the world's ocean temperatures are at record highs and what they could bring.
I do think 2019 (and flooding after it) helped convince "don't really care" types to take it seriously. Trying to convince conservatives of much of anything is a losing battle, but you can convince the rest.
Honestly, fair enough. I guess part of me sharing that thought was because I recognised it was pretty drenched in schadenfreude, and was interested to see what people thought.
The last thing I really want is more disastrous weather to occur. Bring back the 1 every 100 year disasters I say.
sorry I hope I didnt imply it as a value judgement, we all deal with the slow crawl of impending doom in our own ways. Like sticking your head in the sand, as you noted lol.
Oh no, I didn't think it was meant that way. I just took it as hoping for catastrophic weather in the hope it will convince enough people will probably backfire. To which, you are probably correct.
yeah disagree on this tbh. I mean it's inevitable anyway, but given 2019 didn't change anything I wouldn't expect a repeat to do so either
