Denial is over. Climate change is happening. But why do we still act like it's not?

Climate denial is passe. But why do so many of us know the climate crisis is upon us – and live like it isn’t?

@KISSmyOS @rickdg if realistic, that would offset on average 1 ton of co2e, so at that rate it would only cost $150 per year per person in the US to render the US carbon neutral.

You know, if the deal on offer from politicians was "pay $150 a year and we'll stop climate change in its tracks" I'd go for it in a heartbeat.

Why do I suspect it costs rather more than $10 to *really* offset 1T of CO2e? :blobcatsadpats:

About 70% of the population would be against that, is my guess.
