Reply to comment by TickTockPick in Polarization around climate change is growing on Twitter. Since COP21, engagement with climate sceptics has grown 4 times faster than pro-climate content. At the same time, criticism of the COP summits as a failure has grown 5-fold. by fractalfalcon
One good year doesn’t negate the trend. You can’t look at one instance of a specific event and claim that all other observations and data analysed was wrong.
In the same vein, you can’t say the average temperature isn’t rising if 2022s average temp was lower than the average temp of any previous year when the average temp of every year up till now has been consistently increasing. One data point isn’t enough to draw any meaningful conclusion from.
