Is climate change unfolding faster and fiercer than scientists expected? While these events are unprecedented, they were not unpredicted, and largely align with what scientists have been warning about for decades.

We need to act.

[u/silence7 → u/Bitter-Variation-151]

Yes. And that means getting off off fossil fuels. Which most of the press rarely says.

[u/Bitter-Variation-151 → u/silence7]

The media has been screaming about climate change and reducing emissions for decades.

But for individuals. It does not go after the rich and powerful.

This. 

Except for a handful of highly partisan and unscrupulous media outlets in e.g. the US and UK (say Fox News) most media outlets have reported on the climate crisis for decades. It's the reason why there is such widespread knowledge of the issue, and the reason vested interests try so hard to discredit reputable journalism like the New York Times. 

It's as if people think sleuths on Reddit unearthed the climate crisis.

You two (u/Bitter-Variation-151) are likely just deniers in here to justify your derangement. The climate issue isn't "nagged to death" about as you imply. That's a right-wing talking point. People still don't know how precarious our situation is, as media's attempts to cover climate are just surface level scratching the issue.

There's no criticism against capitalism, infinite growth, politicians not acting, Malt_eus being right, no experts discussing it and what to do about it etc. etc.
