On its face, to me, this is utter bullshit. Either people are completely blind to the reality and they think there's nothing to do or they actually are thoroughly convinced of reality and still do nothing because they are demoralized? How do you win? We need to convince people it's actually a problem but then coddle and hand-hold them so they don't realize it's an existential threat... And if it's not an existential threat they won't respond. Damn, we might as well give up now!
