  • Years ago, I got into it with somebody on Reddit over climate change. They thought it was normal and expected that the earth went through cycles of temperature ranges, and saw little harm in human acceleration of the process.

    I at least got them to go “huh, that’s true” by approaching it from the typical conservative top priority: money. I said even if it’s “normal to have cyclical temperature range extremes,” human acceleration of that is going to be extremely costly as our infrastructure - farms, warehouses, transportation, etc. are all going to have to be rebuilt around where things we need grow better after such changes. And it will frequently have to be done again as accelerated changes keep occurring.

    You wanna convince someone of your perspective? Hit 'em where their priorities lie.
