TBH like attention theories explain, public/political discourse of any given topic has waves and troughs. We are at least in the third wave in #climate debate I’ve seen since stumbling into the field in 2006, near peak of one wave.

Something I don't think people realise is that "don't mention climate change" isn't just a US centrist dems position. This is an ideology that has taken root within several very major climate and energy transition advocacy groups.
It's getting better, particularly in the last year, but *man*
