What will it take for people to accept that climate change is real?

I urge people not to go down the “that’s nothing compared with where I live” path.
The entire population is acclimatised to lower temperatures, this is not normal, and people can and do die from heatstroke in what some would call “warm” temperatures.
Source: am Australian – this is a hot, but not insufferable temperature here, but I fully acknowledge how shit this is for a people that aren’t used to it, who’s infrastructure isn’t built to support it.

As a tropical country we would like to have our temperatures back. We have these instead. 40.8°c in Cagayan Ph. May 2026. That’s like desert level temps

Hottest so far

93 degrees Fahrenheit is pretty normal for Gulf Coast South Texas weather this time of year. But up there I cannot fathom how oppressive that might feel. We at least get a consistent 30-35 mph breeze off the gulf. Might as well be a blow dryer but it moves air. I know Air Conditioning isn’t everywhere there. How many rental properties and homes feature air conditioning?

The main thing to consider also is there’s no breeze, like at all, throughout the day you can drop a feather and it’ll fall directly downward so there’s nothing to move the stagnant warm air

Every year we beat records north and south but there no climate change /s here in southern Spain (yes, it’s hotter sorry, had to say it😂) since a decade or so, we have +35ºC to +43ºC from May to October, that’s 6 months of summer. 30 years ago that wasn’t a thing 🤷
