A witty, insightful, and groundbreaking take on one of the most urgent questions of our time: Why, despite overwhelming scientific evidence, do we still ignore climate change?
Most of us recognize that climate change is real yet we do nothing to stop it. What is the psychological mechanism that allows us to know something is true but act as if it is not? George Marshall’s search for the answers brings him face to face with Nobel Prize–winning psychologists and Texas Tea Party activists; the world’s leading climate scientists and those who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals. What he discovers is that our values, assumptions, and prejudices can take on lives of their own, gaining authority as they are shared, dividing people in their wake.
With engaging stories and drawing on years of his own research, Marshall argues that the answers do not lie in the things that make us different, but rather in what we share: how our human brains are wired—our evolutionary origins, our perceptions of threats, our cognitive blind spots, our love of storytelling, our fear of death, and our deepest instincts to defend our family and tribe. Once we understand what excites, threatens, and motivates us, we can rethink climate change, for it is not an impossible problem. Rather, we can halt it if we make it our common purpose and common ground. In the end, Don’t Even Think About It is both about climate change and about the qualities that make us human and how we can deal with the greatest challenge we have ever faced.

Simple. No one worries about fiction, except a grifter who can spin a whole book about how are brains are wired to ignore fiction. What a loser!

No one will be able to ignore the end part when climate consequences destroy all you hold dear.
Have a gander at a few headlines of just one day.

Y’all like Peaches? Climate change ruined 90% of Georgia’s 2023 peach crop - look it up. It’s not the only US crop being hammered by climate change. Kansas wheat.
No denier is worse than the American climate denier. To a boy, they are white, male, conservative & the majority of them have not gone past high school.
Sometimes I wonder how long they will continue to play the denial fool as tribal virtue signalling. There are many conservatives that are former deniers. They are almost all college educated. I sometimes wonder how long they will go. Holding your dead child, victim of the latest record smashing wildfire, flooding, climate Jacked hurricane - will that do it? Well, some of you will be finding out. Gonna suck because you’ll know you helped make it be as bad as can be.
In adult nations with civilized citizens, they ain’t giving up the fossil fuel goodies, but they have plans to protect their citizens. Deniers nations will suffer the worst & go down sooner.
Insurance companies, risk experts, will not sell home insurance in parts of California, Florida, Louisianan & a few other areas. Why? Climate change disasters is why - the areas they no longer sell coverage in will only spread. In non denier nations where the government has taken various measures to reduce risk, the insurance industry will do business there.

What a horror show and summer is still days away.
Take a look. Many a denier is getting stomped this summer along side decent people.

-“An assortment of climate scientists, meteorologists and others are expressing alarm at recent changes in key climate indicators.
“The big picture: Global surface air and ocean temperatures have spiked sharply in recent months, along with record low Antarctic sea ice, extreme heat events around the world, as Canada’s heat and wildfire crisis grips North America.”

““El Niño’s arrival spells out the stark choices on climate…
“El Niño’s arrival heralds a new period of climate uncertainty — and one that, with its associated risk of extreme weather, economists and politicians ignore at their peril. Even the best-laid plans to tackle the escalating cost of living will need to factor in crop failures and spiralling commodity prices”

“Severe drought: western Mediterranean faces low river flows and crop yields earlier than ever.

This BS should be under the Sci-Fi category, maybe also under “Detective” and “Humor”
