How to you figure the people in power have a vested interest in ignoring climate change? Seems like everyone has a vested interest in acknowledging any risk to our civilization.

Because they get a lot of money from fossil fuel companies.

And the others are just ignoring climate change to "own the libs".

They haven't shown much interest in practice.

Actions, not words.
