    But you didn’t “only get ridicule”. It’s accepted fact in wide swathes of population. You don’t even know (I don’t think?) that this person was any kind of skeptic, they’ve just adjusted how important they think it is.

    I think you’re doing exactly the wrong thing here: you’re taking the worst example of anti-climate-science people and projecting it onto this example you have a single sympathetic post from.

      “It’s accepted fact in wide swathes of the population” who still mostly didn’t do anything to change their behavior in response. What’s the difference between a climate change denier who refuses to reduce driving and a climate change acknowledger who refuses to reduce driving? Practically speaking, not much!
