In some ways the same thing applies to the US public's views on climate change. To some people, climate change is not real simply because they believe it is not (I like to call this the Cornelius Fudge analogy), but at the same time they worry about things like storms and heat waves. It is similar to the Amazon situation in that we must bridge gaps to understand each other. We owe it to our world to stop destroying it, but we must reveal the problems we have created with it first.
