Climate change, that humans our damaging our environment to the point of existential crisis, has been well documented by science for decades. So of course there are deniers. Such denials are based on, but not limited to, the following "pillars".


 * Science denial. This based on the resentment of people who weren't privileged enough to go to college. These leads them to support politicians who are anti-intellectual. Of course, there is no scientific basis. If scientist were actually lying for grant money, more of them would be doing it.
 * Economics. It's claimed that it would too expensive to do anything. In reality, today it would cost 1% of the world's GDP (or the loose change in Jeff Bezo's couch) to fix. In 30 years, it will cost 20%. The also claim the that it would destroy jobs. In reality, it would create many more.
 * Crisis. We'll be better equipped to fix it then, so why not wait. This fails to take in account that we may end up waiting too long.
 * Political. Other countries aren't doing it, so we might as well not. However, relatively small areas have the ability to dictate action. Electric cars are one the rise nation wide, because of California law. It would be more expensive to make two sets of cars, so they make ones that can be sold in California.

Takeaway: It's not too late. Call your senator.
