What Climate Event Would Cause Climate Change Deniers To Give Up Their Delusions?.

[TheMastersNemesis]

How bad does climate change/warming have to get before deniers wake up? And will it be too late if it is already to do something about it. More reports come out every day that reveal that we are worse off than predictions. We could be wrong that catastrophic ocean rise is decades off.

Global warming might be like the anecdote pilots talk about that if you see what you think is a fly on your windshield and it is another plane it is already too late you are going to get hit. There is nothing you can do about it.

1. None. They'll just think it's End Times.

Seas boiling, fire upon the earth, etc. Biblical prophecy fulfilled.

6. And for some reason that is all just dandy to them.

Then again, if they are around to see it happen, is that supposed to mean that their god doesn't want them... because he didn't rapture them?

2. Oh that's easy ...

What Climate Event Would Cause Climate Change Deniers To Give Up Their Delusions?.

If there was no more money in denying climate change ... Or, short-term money to be made in acknowledging climate change.

4. None.

As long as the corporate money is flowing to muddy the waters and create the appearence of disagreement it will continue. This is an issue where we need to take the bull by the horns, we can't wait. Millions of lives depend on it.

7. Bare slopes at Aspen?

We had them up at Tahoe last year, but there aren't a whole lot of climate ostriches out here.

8. I honestly don't know

We're experiencing tornadoes and hurricanes in December these past few years. There was a hurricane briefly spotted along the equator last month, which is well-nigh impossible. We had the worst season for wildfires last year, topping the worst season we'd just had in 2014. The oceans inundate southern Florida cities twice a day on a regular basis. Plants and insects that used to thrive only in the tropical latitudes are now doing quite well up to the 45th parallel.

Yet there seems to be an irreducible segment of the population that will ignore or rationalize away the evidence right before their eyes, absolutely convinced that these changes are an elaborate hoax that financially benefits - somehow - the scientific community that's sounding the alarm, and urging us to live more lightly on the planet.
