Ask the most fervent climate change denier if they'd prefer breathing in diesel particulates and other carcinogenic compounds directly into their lungs and bloodstreams, or if they'd prefer energy production that uses cleaner, more sustainable methods that don't spew toxic substances into the air that their children breathe. Whether or not climate change is actually real or not is actually irrelevant when put in the context of what actually affects them and their families on a day to day basis. Couple that with the fact that the footprint of renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar are much more gentle on the local environment, and can be re-purposed within months rather than years, decades or even millennia, as is the case with other forms of energy production. Even if climate change turns out to be false, everyone wins, if it turns out to be true, everyone wins. It's a no-brainer.
