Why aren’t we angrier? Climate change is a more abstract issue, to be sure, as well as one that lacks a clear villain — it’s easier to castigate a small group of people for threatening the larger public than to acknowledge the culpability we all share in climate change, not to mention the sacrifices we’ll all have to make to address it head-on. The anti-vaxxer community may be an intractable force, but they’ve got nothing compared to the money and power wielded by special interests insisting that climate change is a giant hoax — and who, in so doing, lead others to believe that the science isn’t nearly as settled as it in fact is.

We need to be furious about climate change…but we’re not.
