For sure, not that I doubt things like global warming. The reality is oil and gas kill many millions every year. So much focus only on global warming is almost a red hearing when it already causes so much death.
I think the problem is, or at least one I see a lot, is that climate change is already happening, but because it’s gradual and there’s already so much unpredictability you can rarely just point at something specific and say “that’s because of climate change.” And the constant naming of it as “global warming” has done so much damage too, because now when the new weather is cold you still have skeptical conservatives saying things like “global warming my ass!”
I agree, that is why we should just point out that it kills millions every year. Even without global warming we should have moved to phase out oil and gas wherever possible several decades ago. Now is the next best time I suppose.
