And for some, the snow set in Davos, they experienced incredibly mild temperatures that laid all to quip that climate change really has arrived. But the other reasons are a growing understanding of the nature of climate change.
One, the threat is increasing. A real sense of that from the data and statistics. Two, it's systemic. It doesn't just impact an action that one person can take, there's a whole system that needs to change. Three, it's regressive.
