> Even the crotchetiest and most out-of-touch people I know basically accept that the Earth is warming now.

POTUS tweeted "WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???" a few weeks ago when a record cold wave came in. I suppose you were talking about people you personally know, but it seems like there's a good chance many who voted for him would say it too.

Anyway, I guess there is a growing collective admission that the climate is changing even if the crotchety ones will still quip about it not being warmer at some given time and place. It's unfortunate that "global warming" caught on instead of "climate change."

Rather than a collective admission, I feel what's happening is the crotchety people are dying off, leaving us millennials and GenZ to clean up the mess. Thinks won't change until a critical mass of them are dead and gone.

You’re downvoted, but the demographics on this are clear. The younger you are, the more likely you are to take seriously the dire message that the scientific method has trivially produced.

That was always the plan.

> The issue seemed to completely drop from public discourse during the Biden presidency

Biden signed into law the largest investment in clean energy in US history, dwarfing everything that came before. Half the economy was trying to get their hands on some of that stimmy.
