The pros/cons of alarmism are interesting. I think that if the argument is framed as "global warming is fake" or "it’s too late we’re fucked", the reaction is the same: indifference, inaction.... Global Warming as a natural phenomenon
I grew up in West Texas with a geologist Dad who supported our family with a career in the oil industry. This has always led to some dissonance for me re: global warming and environmental stakes generally.... Thoughts from a lefty
As someone more on the left, it’s always depressing to watch these debates. Both candidates pro war, ignoring Israeli aggression, both want to drill more fossil fuels—which will drive climate change regardless of how much windmills you build, and lies about immigration.... - Redelman...

Your question gets directly at how we know what we know, or epistemology. Research in climate literacy has often shown that "belief" in climate change is independent of your knowledge about it - the problem isn't a knowledge deficit....
