Doesn't sound that great. That's a C if we're grading.

Reply to Polarization around climate change is growing on Twitter. Since COP21, engagement with climate sceptics has grown 4 times faster than pro-climate content. At the same time, criticism of the COP summits as a failure has grown 5-fold. by fractalfalcon

There's been a lot of compelling evidence surfacing lately that demonstrates how the climate policies being pursued haven't been clearly thought out and are mostly just reactionary.

1 example, to switch everyone off of petro to electric cars, world wide, would cost 400 trillion dollars just in battery production. That doesn't include massive upgrades to the power grid.

Another item we've been told for decades is that The Great Barrier Reef is dying, being bleached out by sea temperature rise, and this year when measured the reef is the biggest it's been since they started measuring.

None of this proves image change is a hoax, in my lifetime I've seen a pretty dramatic shift in weather at the local and worldwide level. The problem is that the climate movement becomes a new cash cow for investments, government spending, and con men, just like in every other space of our lives.
