Not just the government, but the people they govern. Look how many people have been unwilling to do even the most simple intervention - face masks. It's going to be hard to get these types of laggards to accept the changes we need to make so cut down on carbon pollution.

That was extremely frustrating to witness. This problem is analogous to the conflicting messaging about climate change that's been coming from politicians, industry, media, over the last couple of decades.
