I think part of the reason people don’t fight for climate change is that they’d know the planet will recover… if there are few enough people on it. They assume that they or their defendants will be one of the survivors so there’s nothing to worry about. It’s the same issue with trying to prevent war when both sides think they can win. Sure there’s hardship but if you win didn’t you come out ahead? No one considers the trauma of the generation that has to actually do the fighting.
