You're either a true believer, a total sceptic or somewhere grey that's in between.
However, one thing is for certain - climate change is an issue that is becoming more important to wider communities, and in particular youth.
This federal election was dubbed the climate change election, as the major parties waged war over their climate policies.
In the months prior to the election students walked off school campuses and organised rallies to have their voices heard.
But what does climate change mean for Tasmania?
We're a small island state that runs largely off Hydro - renewable energy.
But, we're also a state that relies heavily on agriculture - and it's the farmers who will wear the brunt of any climate change weather trends.
East Coast farmer Henry Dunbabin has shared how climate change has impacted his farm as part of this series and BOM forecaster Ian Barnes-Keoghan has shared why we need to care about one degree warmer.
Last month, at the Tasmanian Tourism Conference, we also heard about the impact climate change would have on Tasmania, but affecting other parts of the nation such as the Great Barrier Reef.
In light of this national conversation, The Examiner has launched a new series that will examine climate change in a Tasmanian context.
The series will look the politics of the issue, throw a spotlight on renewables, and also share tips and tricks on how the individual person can reduce their own carbon footprint.
It will look at Northern Tasmania's waste footprint and what is going into our bins. It will also ask the question - where does our recycling or FOGO waste go?
Where are the best plastic free restaurants and shops? Which coffee places accept keep cups or even give you a discount?
We are going to find out.
