How about 'Climate chaos is here'... In 2021 in B.C. where we live, drought parched the region for months in the spring. The town of Lytton registered 49.6 C. on June 30, and was wiped out by wildfire the very next day, while thousands of wildfires scorched the province throughout the summer with air quality readings the worst on Earth for 2 consecutive weeks, (some towns had to turn on streets lights at noon) culminating in the fall with 2 atmospheric rivers that flooded some towns for months and swept aside some of the province's bridges to Vancouver as if they were matchsticks...

Since then, we have been evacuated , witnessed a wildfire rage across miles of Lake Okanagan shores 75 miles long) with embers crossing an expanse of water 2 miles across... It was like observing Thor the fire God use a flame thrower engulfing football fields filled with forests every 2 seconds... If anything of value can be said about climate chaos, it is that its events are absolutely spectacular. Last winter the South Okanagan endured the coldest temperatures ever recorded killing most fruit trees by the millions while making this season's wine harvest non-existent since all of the grape seeds were killed. .... ...'Climate chaos has arrived.

There may well be some paid shills among the deniers, but I think the blame for continued public ignorance largely lies with the oil industry's extensive and sustained disinformation/propaganda campaign it embarked upon not long after James Hansen's testimony to Congress back in 1988.
