re: #192 GeneJockey
Because it’s gradual, there’s time for the denialist position to evolve without neck-snapping reversal. It used to be ‘There’s no warming!’, now with many, it’s changed to ‘It’s warming, but it’s natural, and it’s stopped!’
In a few years, when we’re a bit past the recent solar minimum and it really heats up, it’ll be ‘It’s warming, but it’s just the sun!”
One of my favorites is still “It’s warming up on Mars!”
