I wish I could disagree with you. However, after getting out and talking to people FtF, more than ever I think you're right.

No one wants to change the way they live or the overall shape of the world. There is no sense of shared purpose around stopping Global Warming. Nor did I find any great sense of urgency about it.

Plenty of vague anxiety about it, but almost total ignorance about what's happening.

Here's the thing, I wanted to try evangelizing people on the developing Climate Crisis. So, I engaged people and started dialogs. I presented facts, I had a compelling narrative, I had graphics and supporting documentation.

I convinced, no one.

Even the people who listened always got to the point where they basically said,

"I just cannot take you seriously, if it was really this serious someone important would say something. You're a nobody. I cannot believe you know more than legitimate government officials."

Which is a polite way of saying you're a "doomer crazy" and please stop talking to me.

Until we have MAJOR Climate Disasters next to nothing is going to happen. No one wants to change how they live. No one wants to give up anything. No one wants to take action until it is 110% "beyond a shadow of a doubt" certain they have to.

Of course, by then it will be far too late.
