    I think the heatwaves and floods and winters without snow are why a fair fraction of the population cares about climate change.

      I know a couple people who outspoken about climate change for scientific or observable reasons.

      But I know more who are outspoken because they’re polarised against fuddy-duddy conservative anti-climate-protestor attitudes.

        Fair.

        I wasn’t really talking about the scientific measurement of heatwaves and floods and winters without snow, though. I was more speaking to the phenomenal experience of climate change. We’re all living through and suffering the physical effects every day.
