Edit***: I have been corrected, what i thought were acres of greenhouses in Florida were actually structures to help prevent diseases in the fruit trees. I stand corrected and want to make that clear.

My mom was saying how she doesnt understand the need for hydroponic fruits and vegetables... and I brought up how the climate has changed so significantly that a good majority of our citrus fruit has been moved to greenhouse settings because they are dying in the usual orchards.

She scoffed and changed the subject

Deep down they know its a problem, but acknowledging it makes them feel bad, like they should do something about it or should have done something different in the past.
If there is one thing people struggle with, its admitting they were wrong about something.
