that's what "climate skeptics" have been saying for twenty years but you would get bullied for saying so.

my favorite was getting told we "deserved it" for being in Texas during the ice apocalypse, because Texas is a red state.

I hope that people exhibiting that kind of behavior are finally starting to question whether or not it's helpful. The article suggests that is perhaps beginning to happen.

If you want people to make sacrifices to improve the future, just maybe messaging that it's hopeless and anyone who doesn't see that is stupid isn't the best strategy for effecting real change

> particularly for people in the poorest countries

> for being in Texas

News flash: climate change by and large isn't about the US, and US will be one of the least impacted nations of first hand climate change effects.

You’re right, and you’re being downvoted for being so.

The bullying and name calling were intolerable. Even suggesting that the earths demise was not immediate would label you a denier and ignorant about the undeniable science behind the alarms.

It seems the tide is turning and some of the leading voices in the earth-is-cooking camp are now walking things back.

Don’t wait for an apology, though.
