For the longest time the big problem with trying to get the masses to accept climate change is that those preaching that the masses must change their lifestyles are the ones guilty of having the largest carbon footprints. It's simply not a good way to go about convincing the masses that they need to make all the sacrifices so the rich can preserve their lifestyle. We need to find better ways than using celebrities as mouthpieces and not resort to calling people "climate deniers" because they are hesitant to believe the rich and wealthy. It seems a lot of people here have disdain for the rich and wealthy when it comes to regular politics yet somehow when it comes to climate change the masses are supposed to do a 180 and think these people really have the best interests in mind. Suzuki has simply done a terrible job of getting his message across because he's first and foremost an ####### and secondly because he doesn't walk the walk.

The biggest thing we can take from this dark timeline in history is to ensure that we don't make the mistakes again and all your post did was show that many people still don't understand that calling people names and lumping them into groups is divisive and problems are much easier solved when people are united.
