We are frogs that sit in a pan of increasingly hotter water. We see some disasters left and right, of course. But linking that by yourself to climate change - one generally doesn't, they need scientist and researchers for that. If they even believe them and haven't been told by the PM that is all fake.
Then we have that abstract figure of 1.5C - not understanding that it is an average. A scientist or mathematician understands that - but for the average person it is too abstract. Even for me, someone who doesn't doubt man-made climate change, 1.5C is still... odd. We should communicate in expected maximum temperatures w/ durations, droughts, disasters this causes. Yet the media keep repeating "1.5C" more often than any alternative.
