This technology called the Internet allows anyone at all discover the facts, the science and often this information is written at a 9th grade level and therefore accessible.

Exactly. That's how I learned about global warming and what I can do to save the planet.

Hoping that was a /s. Granted, the Internet is full of BS on every subject.

I first heard about GW in the late 80s. I made it a point to find out what I could from sources I could trust. It was a matter of discernment. I guess it took a couple of years before I felt I understood some of the processes and learned that many of those processes are not even understood by the people who study them for a living. It was more difficult to tease out who was reliable and what was accurate/well-understood than it was to cover basic climatology. But, then, I loved that warmer decade and last winter and this warmer Fall, so I once I decided the planet was not in peril, I just relaxed and learned to enjoy GW.

I am still learning about everything. Much more interesting than being in a panic.
