Climate change will continue to happen locally first.
Meaning you can have a state-wide localized disaster in e.g. Texas or Florida, or France, but it won't be global for quite some time. Weather events also tend to be much more predictable (we know that a Hurricane won't hover over 1 state for 6 weeks, for example)
Don't get me wrong, it is a global phenomenon, but because it's much more gradual than "shut everything down", it doesn't have the same effect on people's behavior.
I'd venture to say local weather crises evoke approximately the same response as Covid-19.
