This solution would not impact climate change fast enough to avoid ecological disasters.

Question

Answer

Pro: If a significant change is not achieved in the next few years, the Earth may suffer irreparable damage. Even if people start changing their behaviour, it cannot prevent inevitable ecological disasters.

Answer

Con: Information campaigns can target the main reasons why voters may be wary of major climate change policy: aversion to short-term costs and difficulty projecting the future harms.

Answer

Pro: How willing people are to change their behavior on climate issues is often determined by their political preferences. Thus, it is unlikely that information campaigns will change the behavior of enough people.

Answer

Con: It may be too late to avoid the first consequences of climate change, but there is still time to prevent the forthcoming ones.
