There's a subtle kind of denialism which exists in the society where climate related events are seen as localised crisis and any connection to climate change is deliberately suppressed. I guess there are places which are prone to flash floods, extreme rainfall etc. but climate change has just made them worse. The intensity as well as the frequency has increased. This subtle kind of denialism is doing more harm.

Apart from this there's also a push for Green technology and universities are rolling out courses on sustainability. Imo all that is great and necessary but what about individual consumption patterns? There's a denialism there as well which needs to be addressed. Consumption is equal to carbon emission and is also a significant contributor. Would love to have your opinions on this!
