Use Human Nature

Instead of fighting against human nature, let's use it. Instead of presenting information about global warming in a way that humans seem to be uniquely unable to handle, let's instead give people information in a form to which they are well-suited.

For example, stop talking about "global warming" and instead start talking about "the climate crisis."

People like stories. Let's use stories. For example:

Why does global warming exist? Global warming is caused by a secret war against humans by alien reptiles. Reptiles like it hot, see. The Reptilians want to heat up the Earth to make it suitable for themselves, and then they will invade and kill us all. This explains everything. You know those people who devote their energies to denying the reality of climate change? They're really agents of the Reptilians. The hidden influence of the Reptilians explains why the whole fossil fuel era got started. Did you know that the engine invented by Rudolf Diesel was originally intended to run on vegetable oil? It's true. The diesel engine was also quite efficient. It's also true that he died in mysterious circumstances during a crossing of the English Channel. Coincidence? No, it was the work of the aliens to snuff out a line of technological development that did not require fossil fuels. Ferdinand Porsche's first car was a hybrid electric car in 1903. It was crude, but that's what it was. Henry Ford's first cars were intended to run on alcohol derived from agricultural products. Things could have been quite different. Once the aliens have manipulated us into starting a cascade of events that will shortly reach a tipping point, beyond which our efforts are no longer required, they will kill us. How? On April 13, 2036 the asteroid Apophis will smash into the Earth causing widespread devastation. The preferred weapon of the Reptilians is asteroid bombardment because they're not actually alien reptiles, they're the descendants of an intelligent species of dinosaur that achieved spaceflight, and then promptly wiped out their enemies by asteroid bombardment!

You see how much better that is? The actions needed to defeat the Reptilians are exactly the same as what's needed in reality. Reasons are many, but actions are few. Let's not fight against human nature, let's use it.
