It's the hardest part of dealing with any exponential curve long-term problem. If you succeed people will always say "See, it was never really a problem, we did all that for nothing." And the only reason they'll be able to say that is because WE DID ALL that.
One thing the coronavirus is making clear is that if we do by heroic efforts manage to put the brakes on anthropogenic climate change, there will be lots of people who say "See, it was never a problem." Fortunately as a parent I'm used to this.

Agreed. The only way to properly prepare, is to take a stance 3-4 notches about what you think is worst case scenario, so you're prepped in case. It's like Trump criticizing Cuomo for the javits center not being filled.

It’s weird that skeptics are always attacked. They are such a small part of the debate, yet alarmists can’t stop alarming.
