CO2 has a logarithmic effect on temps. Doubling the current PPM will have half as much of an effect. I don't think the situation is dire or critical at all. It's mild. And people instinctively believe this even if they overtly signal that they don't.

I think it's rather condescending to literally claim you know people's beliefs, even when they vehemently voice otherwise.

Yes, because I look at what people do rather than what they say.

For your next trick, you will claim that what people really did before the Clean Air Act proves they want air pollution.

Or, maybe, individual actions and collective actions are different things.
