About This Quote
Although climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, many of us are unaware of the severity of the problem. As a result, there are many climate change skeptics who claim that climate change is not real or that it’s not worth worrying about. These people are simply unwilling to accept the facts and insist that the consequences will never happen. They are just as afraid to believe in climate change as they are afraid to believe in anything else.
