Global warming personal relations and anecdotes 20-year update request:

Does anyone know someone who was a climate change denier (like, a loud angry one) in the early 2000s (or before, or after) and realized they were completely wrong? Did they say anything about it later or admit that they were wrong? Or did they just carry on and pretend like it never happened? Or, are they still denying it, I guess.

My dad is the only person I really have opportunity to talk about these kinds of things and he makes me instantly blow my top. I've talked about getting an EV which he's against because he's all of a sudden concerned about the environmental cost of mining rare earth materials, which I guess is progress, but he's probably echoing petro/car-maker talking points.

i will opt for a hybrid as long as i live, if/when the shit hits the fan, electric vehicles are going to me rendered useless pretty quickly— just ask the rich folks who horde diesel powered vehicles and own bunkers.
