Correct, when told some catastrophe is happening, most will want to do something. However, disagreeing what that "something" should be hardly sounds like congnative dissonance.
- credit_guy 4y agoI don't know. I see often here on HN people complaining that governments are doing nothing about climate change. Yet, almost every day you can read in the news about one government or another banning the sale of gasoline cars after 2035 or mandating x% of electricity come from renewables, or something similar. And generally these measures are received with popular support. The cognitive dissonance is there.
- no_where 4y agoSure, but that's again due to 2035 being such a far away time. Or that x% of electricity coming from renewables being on some timeframe. The negatives effects of these plans are rarely highlighted by governments in the here and now. Likewise those effects are often not felt for a while.
