    Not entirely true in my anecdotal experience. Most of the original deniers I know personally now say that climate change is real, just that it’s not man-made and there’s nothing we can do about it. I remember around a few years ago I even convinced my boss that climate change is in fact real (he couldn’t come up with a valid reason to explain picture and video evidence), but he refuses to accept humans are causing it. It’s still equally frustrating, nonetheless.

      I mean, is that functionally any different? They’re still going with their own “alternate facts” over listening to scientists. They’re still refusing to support politicians and/or policies that might give us a shot at avoiding the worst of the problem. If they’re still doing all the same shit then nothing has changed.

        Right, I was just pointing out that there are plenty who do believe in climate change, but are still missing/refusing to see the underlying cause and support reform.

      I have a friend that claims climate change is not man made. He always talks about volcanos and ice ages. Does anyone know what evidence I can actually hand him to show him man’s contribution is the leading cause?
