I think the main issue that many people have with climate change, and them basically pretending it doesn't exists, it that the changes incurred happen so slowly, it's not noticed, because society adapts to it.

Even something as simple as (most) cars being more fuel efficient than they were 30 years ago has helped. Anyone that wants a car still has one, and the fact that they more fuel efficient is something we notice day to day in our wallet (although not recently), not necessarily in our environment.

Many cars are getting 25-30 miles a gallon, whereas 35-40 years ago ZERO cars were that fuel efficient. That alone has slowed things down.

So that's an example of "Things will get REALLY bad if we don't do something!" because... we did something.
