Many folks here in North Carolina still don’t think that #ClimateChange is real, even though we keep experiencing 1,000-year rain events and our roads, bridges, homes, businesses, farms, and livelihoods are getting washed away. What do you think might help convince them that it’s real, and that Republicans will halt all progress on protecting us?
@cassandra17lina There was a story on Sunday Morning in past couple of years about an island off of Virginia or Carolinas that is slowly disappearing as waters rise. A whole town and community is being engulfed.
Many RESIDENTS interviewed were STILL in denial. They blamed it on simple erosion. (There is increased erosion BECAUSE of rising waters, but they refuse to connect the dots.)
Denial has become part of their identity to the point they can't accept it even as it engulfs them.
