I've been the weird environmentally conscious kid for more than 30 years. People's attitudes haven't changed. The arguments haven't changed. You'll still find people who immediately get excited about global warming, because they like warm weather.

Some people are just astonishingly stupid, and yet, they walk around and talk and have jobs and can appear to be normal. That's because they are normal. It is normal to be stupid.

Here they claim it as a "natural process". Good ol denial

I know scientifically minded people who view it both as 'hysteria,' and for what remains, something that geoengineering can solve in the future.

In other words, look up the WSJ article advocating for fossil fuel production maximization as a net economic optimization in the long term, basically 'better to maximize efficiency and minimize suffering now, to better geoengineer solutions in the future.'

...I read geoengineering papers. They are horrific. As in "our state-of-the-art-solution would... pour acid rain over the ice caps. And it's still economically unfeasible, but less unfeasible. And maybe it will blunt things some?"

I'm offended such arguments are being presented.

But I can see right where those opinions come from, as with every twist of climate change denialism.

The environmental conspiracists are right. It really is Big Oil and such groups, from what I can see.

it reminds me of this quote from game of thrones, is not the same thing, but it gives the same vibe about the scope of people's thinking and worries: "The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. They never are."
