The level of misinformation, misplaced priorities and uninformed conclusions in climate change has reached staggering levels.
We have people who don't believe it's real (which is silly) and, at the other end of the scale, people who believe we can actually fix it in 50 years (which is just as silly, even 100 years is silly). People are convinced they "know" the "truth" without even bothering to throw a few numbers at a spreadsheet to see if what they think they know aligns with any imaginable version of a non-science-fiction reality.
I am very concerned that politics and ignorance is driving this far more than real science.
