Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to get too far when you've been exposed to industry propaganda for decades telling you that global heating is all fine and nothing to worry about. If you can't see through those simple misleading arguments about natural cycles and so on, that's probably the way it'll stay.

I recommend you browse this website https://skepticalscience.com/

Granted, but the only way to reliably constrain the hollow men is with clear, simple, improvements in the not-too-distant future. Goals for which failure is clear and undeniable

I do kind of like the modesty involved here: Almost every expert I have access to is telling me my house is unsafe, and the roof could collapse in weeks killing my family. However I am too incompetent to do anything about a problem so complex and time-consuming, so I will focus on small short-term goals like vacuuming and cooking dinner (and not getting in my husband's way while he knocks down that wall to make the kitchen more open-plan) until the house collapses, possibly killing us all.

I agree governments are not up to the task, but nonetheless the task remains and is not any less urgent. We will all pay dearly for neglecting it.

Probably not, but I find argumentative discussions to be great fun.
