The change in sentiment toward climate change feels nearly as slow. It is moving in the right direction and picking up, so it's only a matter of time before it becomes the new hot thing like autonomous vehicles or space travel and everyone wants to do it. The faster the general populations perceive it as good, important and exciting, the more those in positions of influence will tie their images to it. I welcome more "who does more to fight climate change" pissing contests like Elon Musk's $1,000,000 tree planting.
