Ask HN: Why don't we talk about climate change more on HN?

I've seen and even participated in quite a few climate change discussions recently. I would suggest that it is a well covered topic.

I'd agree that there's enough coverage already, and that discussing it is hard anyway. Both ends of the spectrum of opinion have faith based outlooks; the ditinction between discussion and argument is hard for them to make.

Why does a hacker forum need more discussion of this? Can't we discusses computer shit here and let the climate change debates happen elsewhere where people are actually more interested in that focus?

I'll bite,

I'm pretty sure climate change is taking a back seat to the clear and present danger of Wuhan Fever.

I have seen a few new stories regarding climate change on HN but they haven't gotten enough traction.

I wonder if this is a subtle part of the human phyce, what would happen if a person that is terrified of both roller coasters and clowns is forced to be seated on a coaster ride next to a clown?

Mainly because it borders on politics. Political articles will get flagged and removed.
