climate change really turns people off. something has to be done to paint the picture in a vivid way. that's not to say that people are lying - just contracting the timespan a little - fast forwarding to the future damages because they mistakenly think that th current damages are not already big enough.
if you look at climate change reporting *this* year, you'll find evidential reporting, not forecasting. the narrative has become reality. there's no need for propaganda or any kind of sales job.
