I mean scientists have been going on about global warming for some time now and no one seemed to listen to them then. Not sure why they are turning to scientists now.

why they are turning to scientists now

The cost of disasters, adapting, insurance issues and disruptions in supply chains start to weigh on the economy so it's not something that easily ignored anymore.

Those people who rejected science could always eat shit and die, though.

True, but that would also not solve the problem. The damage is done and getting worse.

I think we'd see some improvement if they ate shit and died.
