It was easier for our grand grand parents to understand the issue. A global war is something that hits you on the head, you and everyone else. Climate change doesn't do that. Second, after the war (and before too) life was harder than it is to day, you had to work together. Then the sixties came in with lots of oil and all the richness. So people were just leaving the hardship of pas decades and entering a world where everything was much easier. We are the product of those years. We were born in an easier world (at least in western europe, where several countries had access to their late colonies on top of that)). So I'm afraid we don't know much about working together. We'll have to learn that again. Hopefully, we could have a very big energy crisis. Unlike COVID, energy price rise affects everyone directly, it's not like "I know somebody who..." (unfortunately, the poorer are hit harder). This would affect everyone and would lead to some social unrest. Not that I wish social unrest, but that is a signal that can't be ignored, even though it is a very slippy slope. Interestingly, the current spike in gas prices down here puts a lot of politicians in panic mode. Gas price, unlike covid, is the result of human negotiator; you can't invoke "bad luck" or "nature's revenge" or whatever....
