    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.

                  Im doxxing myself a little here, but I remember as a kid, we would have a month of 115 degree weather. And today the high is 105 degrees. I don’t think it reached 110 this summer. If I wasn’t paying attention, I wouldn’t notice a thing.

                    That’s cool. I’m glad that we have your completely subjective experience to put our minds at ease.

                    Hey everyone. Your hear this person? Climate change is a myth. Today’s weather is cooler than some randomly selected month is this Lemmy user’s past. Let’s keep pumping that dead dinosaur juice into our atmosphere!

            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.
