> Normal every day people don't really believe in climate change

Polling data for the US shows that 64% believe that climate change is caused by humans and 60% believe we're already experiencing its effects. https://news.gallup.com/poll/231530/global-warming-concern-s...

That's not the number many would like to see, but it's a clear majority, and we ought to be able to get stuff done with it.

I think the problem is the "faceless" part. Voters need to hold their specific elected officials responsible, and avoid the products of the worst offending companies. We should create trustworthy independent organisations that can name and shame, until we get a comprehensive emissions tax.

I thought that is what news and reporters are suppose to do
