Action on climate change has been stymied by politics, lobbying by energy companies and the natural pace of scientific research — but one of the most significant barriers is our own minds.
Think about how every town seems to have a traffic intersection that’s needlessly dangerous. No matter how many times you think to yourself, “They should really put in a stoplight here,” you don’t call the proper authorities. (You’re already late for work, and it feels like someone else’s problem to solve.)
Our mental responses to global warming and climate change follow a similar script. What needs to be done is clear enough — stop greenhouse gases from occupying the atmosphere — and yet progress moves at a snail’s pace. Three decades passed between the first report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the international community’s pledge for action through the Paris climate accords.

No, most peoples’ brains call BS.
Liberals didn’t pay attention to it until 20 years ago and there’s still no great urgency to it.
My brain is hard to con. The worst nightmare of a leftist.
Has there ever been such a focused attempt to brainwash a population as we are seeing with this climate change garbage?
It must be VERY important to their future plans.
My brain is far normal than idiot liberals who voted for a president who actually thought America has 59 states..
It’s all so simple! Who knew that raising taxes and paying gobs of money to India and China could reduce the Earth’s temperature?
Where’s my darned Goebbels ...
So the headline PBS headline says- Anyone with a brain doesn’t take climate change seriously. Works for me.
Oh, that explains it. If I don’t buy the global warming scam, I’m mentally ill.
Makes sense.
Sounds like desperation... we must be winning.
Waaaaa.
nevermind their now “forgotten” prediction that British school children had already seen their final snowfall.
nevermind their mid-80s boast that the oceans would be dead within 20 years.
nevermind the “hockeystick” chart onward and radically upward.
Follow the money. Trillions. It’s a scam.
“If you stupid Deplorables weren’t so stupid, you’d understand that I’m smarter than you. Conversation over. I win.”
Global warming/climate change caused by mankind is as likely as humans causing fog by walking to school in large numbers.
It tells you that humans have managed to make their domiciles almost anywhere from equator to pole! If we should be planting corn in northern Canada, we will probably be smiling about it.
That’s an easy one :-)

They’ve been brainwashed and don’t even know it.
Real article title:
How your brain stops you from taking radical libtard socialists seriously.
And Thank Christ it truly does.
Didn’t need to read the article to know.
My brain stops me from taking Climate Change(tm) seriously because it’s a load of bovine excrement.
