As a Texan who has grown their own food most of my life. My entire garden scorched this year, and the corn crops around here did as well, luckily for the corn, it can be turned into chicken feed, but it sucks because it's not as profitable and it's going to cause a shortage. I like my grilled corn ok. Most of the farmers around here completely understand that climate change is real, the problem is even though we do voice our frustration, gerrymandering keeps our voices from being heard. Help Texans end gerrymandering!

I’m in my sixties and I remember before the current political polarization and narrative took hold when hunters were among the most vehement conservationists who’d turn on a hunter who hunted out of season and often helped regulate advance the number of recognized endangered species. Then everything changed as quickly as our political philosophy changed.

The whole climate "argument" is based to the climate being a complex system. You can't just explain and prove every mechanic involed in two minutes, so the impatient or outright dumb will give up well before you get done. Here is the other thing about complex systems, there are multiple redundencies. The climate can take a heck of a beating. But tough isn't invulnerable. Neglect and abuse these systems long enough and they WILL fail. They are failing and people who studied this for their entire lives have been ringing that alarm bell and screaming for years. The responce of the dumb is "well they keep crying and I keep living". Its like refusing to move out of a house condemed by a surveyer, doing no maintanence and being 100% sure that because it didn't fall down yet it won't fall down. Then tapping the walls with a hammer to prove how brave they are and how sturdy the house is...

This is a very good video and I’m glad you did it. But there is hope. That trend does seem to be slowly changing. In Texas rural homeowners are standing up to the gas companies that want to run pipelines through their town by teaming up with environmental groups. And one more thing. I recently took a trip to Idaho and Wyoming. Two very oil dependent states. What did I see? Solar panels on houses and electric vehicles on the road. There is hope.

Living in TN, I see things occasionally talking about protecting wetlands and forests. Unfortunately it's usually in the form of "If we destroy the environment, there won't be any animals left to shoot". So yeah, take that for what you want I guess. I suppose that's progress...

Let me add to the water crisis for you. Most communities have combined sewage/stormwater systems that are often over inundated with water from rain events causing these systems to pump out untreated or partially treated effluent into our waterways. Sometimes the bacteria counts are massively past what would close a beach. Additionally, there's an increase in phosphorus in many waterways from agriculture that cause increasingly devastating algal blooms.

This is anecdotally obviously, but I have relatives that we need Texas so they know the space on where you go. But most Texans that I meet are either in different about certain social issues or actually you're really liberal about them. Every time I ask them well, if there's so many people in Texas who feel this way, then why isn't the state like mixed or blue and the answer is simple. It's the reason why every Texan no matter their political background hates the bushes which is that the state is literally and oligarchy totalitarian government. Like I've been repeatedly explained that despite Texas having extremely liberal weapon laws, the entire state's population armed late all the candle to the national guard, which by both socially and legally in their system supports only the rich people in power in that state. Meaning if shit went down, the national guard would guard Ted Cruz and would immediately start shooting bombing its own statesman. This is why they can't win because these rich assholes essentially have a chokehold on the state and one of my favorite quotes from a Texas friend of mine says that if you are an American but you can't visit the UK, go visit Texas. We have the same royalty system.

Love the political topic turn at the end. Our political partiscipation is imperitive! Now to find candidates that will declare a National Climate Emergency, so we can adress this problem and nip it in the bud.

Really it's the outdoor-living, rural, small-town, outdoor-working, farmers, and those in the South that have the most to lose with climate change, and will be most directly aware of its impacts. City folk are (literally) insulated from it, spending most of their time indoors, getting their food from supermarkets, and so on. Verses the trades-workers who work outdoors, in conditions getting hotter, making their jobs more unpleasant or even unsafe. Those in places that were already hot that will become unbearable, perhaps literally unlivable. Farmers who will have less consistent harvests, more frequent crop failures due to floods, drought, heat, and other changed weather patterns. Those who hunt and fish. So it doesn't surprise me that they're well aware of and worried about it.

The climate science denial is less of an obstacle than the energy solution denial. Dilute intermittents like wind and solar are unsuitable to do the heavy lifting of meeting our energy needs, they are far too resource intensive and chaotic. To reduce dependence on dense, reliable hydrocarbons we need to use other dense, reliable sources. Hydro and geothermal are workable as far as they go. The only other method available at scale is nuclear. Luckily nuclear is remarkably safe, and we know how to do it.

Ive had some good conversations with conservatives by starting off accepting they dont believe in climate change but then discussing superfund sites and the rivers where you shouldnt eat the fish. That gets through. Liberals also need to follow the science and not just follow the trends. If your electric car can drive cross country on a charge and outrun a supercar, dont pretend youre out ther saving the planet.

Sadly we Yanks just say climate change is too expensive to fight and isn’t our problem anyway. The older folks that can only see the world through dollar signs want to take care of us by taking care of the economy. They don’t realize how much climate change will screw over the economy.

IMO the nonquantitative discussion of pollution is simplistic bordering on counterproductive. Pollution is a chemical problem. Discussing it requires the language of chemistry.
