I think the public has started to notice climate change. It's perceptible now for everyone, including the insurance business. The supreme irony is that the DenierSphere has kinda "won" the battle, I have seen a great deal of apathy among scientists, they have stopped debating in recent years. The deniers were lucky 'cos ordinary people didn't give a damn. Now they give. I reckon in a few years time an ordinary denier will meet extreme contempt when he/she comes up with the usual denier bs. Same fate as holocaust deniers. I hope.
I hope so too. I agree it's now perceptible for everyone.
The other day I read an interesting article from Jacobin, a socialist magazine:
Lifestyle Environmentalism Will Never Win Over Workers BY MATT HUBER And those are exactly the people we need to save the planet. Jacobin 8/2/21 https://jacobinmag.com/2021/08/lifestyle-environmentalism-will-never-win-over-workers
It expressed disappointed that the labor class, far from expressing concern about climate change, was instead all-in on consumerism. The author thought perhaps trade unions in the electricity industry might step up on climate change, since they have a front row seat, but all in all it wasn't a very optimistic article.
