I feel like climate change can feel a bit mystical because the earth is, y’know, pretty complex as a system. But just tossing a, “CO2 is transparent to visible light but absorbs infrared light” in there just says “this isn’t that complex — climate deniers are denying /physics/…which is cringe.”

You just have to find out what MOTIVATES people to educate them!
Problem is when they’re bathed in propaganda all the time, they never get a chance to think.
How’d I do?

A 3C temp increase doesn't seem like much, but a 5.4F increase, well if that were your thermostat you'd be panicking.
It typically happens a few months before the big flood of ads near election, and involves warning people of what the opposition's argument will be and why it's wrong.
This also works when educating children about racism and stereotypes.
Everything is taught.
If you come in first with the truth, it’s going to be a lot harder for that person to shake that.
Hence stereotypes.
And you can see the difference between (most) toddlers today and the toddlers in the doll experiment that was a big part of brown v board
They picked it up from the environment
Kids have no prejudice until they are taught.
Systemic racism is like the atmosphere: it's everywhere but you can't quite see it.
