It seems like a fantasy that all people will wake up when things are demonstrably bad enough.
Are we at “peak indifference” on whether tax cuts for the wealthiest trickle down massive benefits? No, we’re not.
Will there always be some form of Flat-Earthers? Yep.
There will always be some people who will deny climate change, even as floodwaters head north of their nipples.
It’s more important to put those people who already understand climate change now, in positions of some power now.
