    If you deny the reality of human- caused change, you are making a political statement that is scientifically wrong. Don't pretend the problem is the . The problem is you're afraid if you admit the science you won't like the policies we have to pursue.

    The really do need to get their own house in order and lead by example in rapidly curtailing their CO2 (& not via another offset scam). As it stands their belief that they’re exempt from their own science does not serve the credibility of that science well.

    If you're deeply concerned about climate change, one of the best things you can do for your mental health is to deeply reduce your emissions.

    Replying to @AarneClimate
    Exactly! Living a low-CO2 lifestyle provides relief from climate anxiety. It allows you to think and speak and act without being a hypocrite, and so it allows you to be open and honest with yourself and others. A low-CO2 lifestyle is very good for both physical and mental health.
