People care, there's evidence, see eg this survey:
https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/09/14/in-response-to-climate-change-citizens-in-advanced-economies-are-willing-to-alter-how-they-live-and-work/ https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/09/14/in-response-to...
(look eg under "Many across the world willing to change how they live and work to reduce effects of climate change")
- globular-toast 5y agoYour link seems to show that people care about the effects it will have on them. I can't find anything about future generations.
- fulafel 5y agoThere's a big difference between merely "now" and "personally" which for most people implies many decades of time horizon left in their lifetimes. Also many questions were not related to concerns for effects on the personal sphere, eg "Willing to change how they live and work to combat the effects of global warming" which also got high scores.
