Contrary to what you may have heard, climate change science *isn’t* settled. There is intense debate over how quickly we are killing the planet and exactly how quickly and drastically we need to act. Each year’s worth of new data is pored over intensely in an effort to answer these questions.
But don’t like scientists? Okay. Just ask any farmer, rancher, fisher, forester, park ranger, vintner — any profession that depends closely upon interacting with the natural world.
They know what’s up. They know the climate is changing, and quickly. They are changing their business practices and long-term plans too because if they don’t, then they’ll go out of business and be unable to feed their families.
It’s that simple.
