Everyone "cares" to some degree, as long as their own habits and life-style are not affected.
It costs me nothing to congratulate you on your effort, and I'm glad you're doing something - that's less responsibility on me.
I think everyone else should get an EV or ride a bicycle, thus leaving me to drive my 8 cylinder muscle car.
OK, I'm being cynical for effect, but I see this hypocrisy all day long. "I'm all for your change, as long as the change doesn't affect me."
We should, but won't, collectively act on climate. Because the rich countries have too much to lose. And the rich and powerful in those countries have too much to lose.
In the US, one of the biggest contributers to climate change, it has become a political issue. There's a reason the US exited the Paris Accords.
To be clear, I think we should act, individually and collectively. I applaud you for setting an example. But I dont believe we _will_ act. The coming change is inevitable.
