      You don’t have to trust people in power, you can just look at the climate disasters happening all over the world at an accelerating pace each and every year.

        What climate diasters? Its hot in the summer? Hurricanes still happen?

        Its a slow boil, and its hard to tell the progression. We all learned how you can lie with stats in high school, and it looks just like that.

            I don’t? Im saying that its hard to tell from the events that things are getting worse, or at least for a layman. And its easy to convince youself you’re being lied to.

              You don’t even have to look at the news to find out things are getting worse. It’s hotter with more heat waves and more extreme weather happening basically everywhere. Less and less snow in the winter too for the places that get snow.

              Even without looking at the news, I have noticed things have changed from my childhood.

                I don’t know man. When I was a kid, summers were hot. And now 20 years later, summers are still hot. Without someone logging it, and me believing that person, I would have no idea that its getting hotter.

              This is the first year in history that our winter has been warm enough that our canal didn’t freeze. This is the first year I’ve ever witnessed that there have been smoke warning due to wildfires. I’ve never seen wildfire smoke in my city period, and we had it for weeks! This isn’t just happening where I live, it’s happening everywhere.

              It’s not hard to tell at all from the events that things are getting worse. One has to be utterly ignorant of what’s happening in the world to claim that. The fact that somebody could genuinely believe what you’re saying is frankly depressing.
