> “I used to begin my presentations by talking about temperature data and heat-trapping gasses, but now I begin most of my presentations in the same way: by asking people, ‘How do you feel about climate change?’” said Katharine Hayhoe, chief scientist for the Nature Conservancy, a nonprofit environmental organization, during a panel discussion. “I get the same words everywhere: anxious, worried, frustrated, concerned, devastated, overwhelmed, angry, hopeless, horrified, frightened, heartbroken, and afraid.”

When I ask the same question, the answers I receive is totally different: "What climate change?, This is a statistical fructuation, volcanoes did that, Earth survived even more carbon level, and Greta is a EU's project for taking even more taxes".
