    On the other hand, there are also loud religious voices still claiming that human caused climate change is impossible because people can’t break things their God made.

    And others who are seeing climate change as another sign of the apocalypse that their sect has been eagerly anticipating. Anticipating to the point that they’re willing to nudge things along to bring on that apocalypse downer- ideally during their lifetime.

    I would think the Muslim world would be getting more interested in climate discussions with temps during Hajj being lethal (1200 deaths this year alone)
