I’m talking about changing minds. CO2 emissions have already been framed as pollution for decades, and that narrative has demonstrably failed to move the public consciousness. Just saying “oh it’s definitely pollution when there’s too much of it” is dismissive and will change zero minds, assuming that’s your goal here.
so you think NOT calling it pollution is going to change minds? what are you arguing for exactly?
the problem is not people getting hung up on CO2 being labeled as “pollution”, that’s silly. the problem is people are in denial because they don’t want to change their carefree 20th century lifestyles.
When we add excessive amounts of it, it is definitely pollution. I think it’s time to start talking about it as such.

Public consciousness has shifted dramatically over the last couple of decades… How would you demonstrate it?
