These 5 charts show why the world is still failing on climate change – Vox:
There’s (rightly) a lot of talk these days about climate-change denialism on the right. It’s problematic that so many people are letting their ideology color their perceptions in a way that causes them to minimize the problem.
But it’s not just Fox News viewers who are letting what they want to believe get in the way of understanding the true nature of what’s happening. I wish more people working to address the issue of climate change were honest enough to pay attention to Roger Pielke, Jr.
“Oh, we don’t like what that man is saying. It is challenging to my worldview. Therefore I will denigrate and dismiss him.”
Sigh. Our public discourse around this issue is badly polluted by tribalistic cultural-identity concerns, and not just on one side.
