What makes you say that on climate change? I was still prophesied ice ages when in high school, then 12ft water increases and sunk Maldives in university and we still have roughly the same weather.

You have entirely failed to grasp what climate change is, its effects and the timeline as described by scientists for decades.

We have advanced climate studies since your "high school" (sounds like 50 years ago if you heard ice age prophecies), and at the moment it's like 99% of the scientists working in the field or related agree we're at the progressing climate emergency.

> we still have the same weather.

Oh.... So your local weather is now deciding the global temperature patterns, averages or temperature records being broken year on year?

OMG....

Weather is not climate. Not to mention we really don’t have roughly the same weather anyway.

At some point you realize theres an entire industry around climate change fear just like there's an entire industry for climate change denial.

Then you realize it never really mattered and you reach enlightenment.
