Climate change is it is portrayed by the media is BS. It is more of a tool to get people all wound up. I’ve known people who are on the verge of a mental breakdown because the media is constantly telling them the Apocalypse is happening.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not arguing that a changing climate isn’t bad. It is very much something that needs to be addressed like all environmental issues. However, in my experience the climate change people are the the ones who are cutting down the rainforest to build “climate friendly” wind turbines. It is a complex issue and honestly more of a belief than a science.

Yep plenty of people in the media miss use climate change to green wash (and green light) new projects.
Its a shame. We really need PSAs or something to help straighten out public consensus of what exactly climate change is and what it causes.

But then we’d have to consume less, and they don’t want that.
