COVID was the perfect microcosm for climate change action. COVID killed a shit-pile of people really quickly. Humans are wired to acknowledge pressing matters (like a pandemic), while more abstract concepts, and things with delayed consequences get pushed to the wayside.
It make sense, why we are the way we are.
Who cares about where your meal next week is going to come from, when you’re a caveman running from a lion?
Does it make us any less dead? nope. Just the timing is in question.
Even covid was already too hypothetical and abstract and too far away in time and space for millions of people to act cautiously. Climate change is further away still… When it becomes very noticeable, it’s far too late: hawaii fire level stuff before people actually realise it’s fucked.
the number of chuds I’ve met that really, really think it was some kind of space laser and not a wildfire driven by hurricane winds and crippling heat is fucking depressing. people I volunteer with who I thought were rational humans… what in the fuck

Hawaii fire level stuff is due to climate change.

Yes. I meant many people only realise it when they are the one stuck there and can’t get out.
Fun fact! Mines take climate change into consideration for all their engineering and revgetation designs

I think I should have added ‘/s’.
I’m no denier.
