    I’m being negatively voted for asking a question, reminiscent of reddit. Thank you folks.

      Mostly as the way you asked the question, is a manner that many do when JAQ-ing off (Just Asking Questions) - particularly about this specific topic. A lot of folks do not engage in these discussions in good faith, and claim they’re “just asking questions” but really aren’t actually asking to learn but to make smarmy dismissive comments.

      If instead, you had gone “I actually don’t understand, could someone explain what this panel means?” then people would have responded more positively.

      People are likely downvoting because you used the equivalent of a climate denialism dog whistle. It comes off as bad faith because when most people use the term climate change they mean anthropogenic climate change.
