The 3% number from a Yale climate survey stuck with me all day
Read that only about 3% of Americans think climate change is not happening at all, but we talk like it's a huge split. If the science is that settled, why does it feel like half the country is against doing anything about it?
The 3% is about whether it's real, not about what to do. That was the thing I had to wrap my head around too. Most people agree it's happening but then split hard on what it's worth to them, like paying more at the pump or giving up their truck. I stopped arguing about the science with my brother in law and started talking about his flood insurance going up. That got way further.
