keeping it real
The public has shown that they're largely wiling to tolerate staying locked indoors for months upon months, having their businesses shut down, having their parents die alone w no visitors & in general dealing with extreme boredom & isolation. Corona was/is a problem directly effecting a handful per football stadium whereas climate change is gonna effect pretty much everyone & horrificly effect hundreds of millions and yet virtually nothing is being done about it (on the roads I see more SUV's, minivans & pickups than ever despite rising gas prices).
I guess it's human nature to have difficulty focusing on long-term more abstract problems. The consensus seems to be it's already too late to stop the dozens of simultaneous environmental crashes that are happening but we can mitigate suffering. Coronatimes has shown us a majority of people are willing to take a major hit to quality of life to deal w a crisis (some of the measures such as minimal driving & air travel even had some temporary environmental benefit). Why can't we collectively create climate change measures (a problem many, many, many orders of magnitude more harmful)?
