"In Australia there is now widespread public acceptance of the reality
of climate change; we seem to see its effects almost hourly.
But the electorate still votes for political parties with environment
policies that I would call recalcitrant, and with significant groups of
climate deniers in their ranks.
The issue of climate change has become a battle of ideologies, values
and worldviews, something that has become much more pronounced in the
last decade thanks to our political class and to parts of the media.
Knowing what we know about human beings, our psychological and
evolutionary makeup, there's no evidence that these divisions are going
to be broken down by more scientific evidence or just the passage of
time — not that we have much time to spare.
And we should not assume that as climate change becomes worse, these
divisions will start to heal."
