I have some conversations with some of my friends which use to be rich. They can not see that change in Earth's climate because they are not from farmer's families. They heavy believe that climate change is just a BS and Greta Thunberg's activism is just a someone's project maybe for earning money in unexpected ways - not a real thing. They can afford to drive some giant SUVs and they use to open their windows at home in winter while heating is working for having both warmness and fresh air. In other words, they refuse to do any changes in their habits. But if you have some convinceable words for them I can ask them and write down here their response.
- zelphirkalt 5y agoWe call SUVs "city tanks". It is a wide spread and quite ignorant way to put your own living standard above all other issues. Some people argue about safety and so on, when actually SUVs are more likely to kill people on hit than other cars due to their front shape. They argue something about laws that need to change instead of them personally having to change their lifestyle to safe some fuel. Anything to fit their actions. I am quite frustrated by this "me first" attitude.

They're too worried about their immediate bottom-lines and fighting any attempted regulations they think will affect it to want or care to do anything about the longer-term threat of climate change that will actually devastate their industries for future generations.
