Does your dad believe that we can continue with our current rate of emissions and waste without consequence though? Maybe it's worth discussing from an environmentalist point of view rather than climate change specifically. Perhaps the phrase has become taboo for him.
That’s an angle I hadn’t considered, thanks. Fortunately he’s not closed minded. But I think you’re right, the phrase ‘climate change’ has likely become taboo. Growing up in the 70s to 80s, I saw the propaganda. It was bad.
