It’s hard to acknowledge a process while you’re a part of it and it hasn’t finished yet.

  > it hasn’t finished yet Climate is never finished, we will never wake up one day and see "breaking news: climate change is done", it's a continuous process

    > it's a continuous process But that's the thing. You have to realise many people can't reason about events that take a 100 years to unfold. It's like when you hear on the news "the sea levels will rise by the end of the century". For an average person it's as far in the future as the thermal death of the universe. People won't wear a mask in the middle of the pandemic, and somehow we expect everyone to forever change their habits for the better future past their lifetime.
