You might not travel much but the rest of the world takes it seriously. Even the Republican Party is having meetings about how they can change their stance to the right side without coming across bad.
I don't pay carbon taxes that I know of but I am still aware of this issue.
Some simple things to consider. Plants have zones where they can survive because of the average daily temperature. You can now use one zone lower in most areas. So it is hotter then when I was a kid. The gardeners of the world may be on conspiring on this but I doubt it.
You can walk on areas of Greenland that have never been visited by modern man as they were covered in ice.
Russia and China are in talks to open a Northern sea lane through the Arctic for shipping. This was not possible before as the ice was there.
These are some pretty diverse groups who are taking advantage of these changes. I don't think it is a conspiracy as these are pretty diverse groups here. Why is it happening? No idea. CO2 in the atmosphere is at the highest level ever recorded. We know that CO2 has an effect. That is a fact. So maybe this is related to the above facts.
I am sorry that your govt. doesn't feel a need to hold your hand and fix this for you.
