What do you think should be done about climate change?

It's not lies, but it is happening too slow for most people to care. So we should speed up climate change to get people to take it seriously. Use more power, drive more, get this snowball rolling or rather melting faster so maybe people will start to care!

Or come live in Canada. Tons of room to migrate north as the climate changes. Go North where the future lies ;)

The problem is, so far, it has only been beneficial. Shorter winters, warmer spring and fall, longer summers, loving it!

This is exactly the problem. Humans just don't care about long term issues.

This is exactly why smoking isn't banned and people don't really care about it, yet a couple people dying from a vape pen is huge news and crazy outcry for a ban. One kills quickly and the other doesn't, even if one is 1000s times more dangerous. 

To the OP:

It's up to governments to force companies to control their carbon output. Sure people washing clothes on 30 and using standby mode and eating less meat is good but 71% of the worlds carbon emissions come from 100 companies. They want us to blame each other instead of blaming them for their inefficient output of carbon.

I think there was always a stigma towards vapes and the recent deaths just gave people an excuse to attack it.

To be fair though, cigarettes arent treated much better. They've become significantly more expensive, there are less options and finding places to smoke becomes more difficult.

The problem with banning stuff is it doesent really work. I think we've learned many times the black market does an excellent job getting stuff on the streets governments ban. Hence, I dont want to ban anything because it creates problems but I also dont want to pay for the healthcare of idiots.

Lastly, its fair to argue our culture is partly to blame for carbon output. People dont necessarily opt to lower their output. Thats why people call celebrities and politicians hypocrites, theyre often the worst offenders.
