… which also supports my point.

Someone arguing on the forums that EA cares too much about climate change supports your point, and someone arguing on the forums that EA doesn't care enough about climate change also supports your point? What exactly would they have to say to damage your point?

Leadership making climate change a priority and not making excuses for why it isn't.

Someone in the movement said "maybe we're NOT all gonna die in the next 1° C increase in average temp" = Everyone in the movement are climate change deniers
