How do we convince people to care about the impending climate change disaster, and do so before we are at the point of unavoidable catastrophe?
The amount of ignorance I've seen on the topic from talking to average people is simply shocking.
How are we to take measures if nobody listens until its too late?

I'm in Environmental Science and the amount bleeding-heartedness makes me sick. Death to the Earth! Alalalalalala!!!
If climate change was real, there's be no reason to "convince" anyone of anything
>How are we to take measures if nobody listens until its too late?
Because you keep calling people deniers instead of skeptics.
Strawmen don't look good
Back to your people >>/pol/
It took forever to convince people to believe in germ theory.
At this point, with guns
I think it is insane the attention span people have and are still able to function. The only way to convince people of warming climate is to have warming weather. Most people don't know the data or don't wish to. There is too great of a bias toward there own perceptions. If they have not experienced it the way they think it should be then it must not be true... When you show people patterns over more than 2 years and they are already inclined to not believe it for what ever reason then you might as well convince a brick wall. At this point, I am done trying to convince.
You explain the difference between weather and climate, and also explain how on planets or moons with weak or no atmosphere experience drastic shifts in weather that are not conducive to life. For example, how the surfaces on the Moon and Mars can vary between being hot enough to boil water and cold enough to cause frostbite within a span of several hours. What climate change looks to bring isn't some permanent hell of hot days with high CO2 (which actually wouldn't be a problem at all, because jungle plants would thrive, grow large, and flood all the O2 we needed back so long as we stopped cutting them down for a while), but rather a weakened atmosphere that leads to chaotic weather systems that can kill life left and right as most things aren't suited for their established environment, rather than a constantly changing one.
started with a good strategy there but then you veered off
