I'm not sure visibility is really what we need at this point. Is there anyone left on Earth that doesn't know about it? I think what we need instead is political mobilization and coalition-building to increase our political clout and ultimately win elections and create legislation.

I'm not so sure. That was probably true before the past decade of record breaking heat waves, intensifying storms, etc.

Now it's a variety of other problems, from not giving a fuck and hoping god raptures them before then, to having other priorities like the economy and thinking technical solutions will fix it, to not believing it's human-caused, etc. It's political hurdles now, convincing people of the importance of helpful measures, as opposed to simply trying to remind them of the problem.

The assumption that people think problems need to be solved is just that, an assumption. Conservatives believe in tradition, where problems do not get fixed. Fixing problems = bad, because fixes are changes from tradition.

Most people are somewhere on a scale between conservative and progressive though. But you certainly don't want to just assume most people want things fixed, it's unfortunately just not true. It's just projecting progressive personality traits onto people that have less of them for whatever reason.

So no, not apparently. It's much, much worse than simple ignorance.

Seems like there's another one of these every week now. Glad our intelligence services have finally seemed to get their acts in gear.

Do they really want all those individual things, or do they just want a Fourth Reich, but can't outright admit that, so have to come up with plausible cover?

An enclosed space can also get hotter than the "burning temperature" of whatever fuel you are using to heat it up. Because heat keeps accumulating if it has nowhere to escape to.
