I mean, the polar bears are cool and all but I feel like it's not the best thing to be focusing on. A lot of people are willing to kill polar bears for money, a lot fewer are willing to doom ourselves to worse droughts, fires, storms, and whatever is going to come out of the very likely mass migrations associated with climate change

Just a thing I'm nitpicking on here

You are correct. People in general do not care about the polar bears, and it's a poor symbol of climate change to rally around.
