> So maybe people really just don’t care I think so. Everyone is always selfish. There are only selfish reasons. Some of us happen to selfishly feel good about helping others, but not always, not with everything, not when it's just inconvenient enough. If you want people to stop worsening the climate, you have to frame it in a way that convincingly portrays it not as something that is happening but as something that is noticably worse for them individually. Is global warming noticably worse for me individually? Not where I live at my salary. So what then do you say to convince?

> So what then do you say to convince? There is another way. Make a religion out of it. Make it a sin to do harm to the environment. Yet another way. Replace every ad (Google ads can be a good start) with environment friendly message, Replace all billboards with a message to drive less, drive less, or consume less generally. "Do you really need that SUV?", "Do you really need to buy a new car". Mandate by laws that companies should make stuff repairable and should provide spare parts and operation manuals. Maybe they can compensate by hiking initial price. Fix human behavior with human behavior.
