It's 2023...
Most people already know that while climate change can happen naturally over thousands of years, because of humans it's happening so fast nature can't evolve fast enough to adapt to it.
Like, not watching where you're going and bumping into something is fine, maybe you stub your toe. It would be different if you were going 100mph.
Similarly, long term climate change isn't that bad. It's the uncontrollable rate it's changing that's the issue.
