    the messaging has been consistently toned down in the hopes people would listen.

    My guess is its even more than this: deadlines were extended to not let people fall into inaction. The tipping point always close enough so that its dangerous, but still far away enough so that there is still hope. It is a ploy analogous to the fascist “the enemy is strong enough to be dangerous and weak enough to be thoroughly defeated.”

    This scene is far more realistic, I think. But as you can tell, it doesn’t play very well with either the audience or the media.

      Imagine being that guy, telling people the same thing scientists have been saying for 100+ years and watching all of them put their hands over their mouths like it’s an earth shattering discovery. If only someone had told them repeatedly over the course of multiple generations!

      “Who cares?” I feel ya bud.
