I think it's real, for sure.  But I'm not sure what I'm willing to do about it.  I don't endorse ridiculous overreactions like the "Green New Deal."

I am visualizing a flow chart.

I think climate change denialists often retreat into the stance that they don't like the solutions to the problem.  But that's not really the question, is it?  The first question is, is it real, and the second question is, what are you willing to do about it.  

It's like a guy is standing in the road, and you tell him there is an oncoming car, he better get out of the road.  And his answer is, I don't want to get out of the road, therefore, there is no oncoming car.

Some people seem to think that if they accept the science, they have to accept a whole set of proposed solutions.  So they deny the science, in order to avoid whatever draconian solutions they imagine.
