I had an extremely weird conversation a while ago. A coworker had never heard of global warming before. They listened intently as I explained, expression making it apparent that they were honest about their obliviousness.

    How? It's been part of the news circle for two decades minimum.

    Truthfully, she said that she had heard about it in passing but had never cared to learn anything about it. She knew the name and not a thing more. This conversation was spawned when I pointed out that I could no longer relate to the weather that kids today experience because of global warming, and gears started turning and she asked many questions. As far as how? Education in the US is not equally distributed.
