I wish it would have worked and people had been scared into taking action. Now we're looking at serious ecological devastation and hundreds of millions of climate refugees (look at the recent heat wave in India and flooding in Pakistan).
- autoexec 4y agoPlenty of people were scared into taking action, but sadly the people with the power to make meaningful change were taking bribes from industry to continue ignoring the issue. The rest of us spent our energy taking shorter showers, separating our trash, buying things advertised as "green", and all the other largely pointless rituals they gave us to keep us calm and make us feel better while they continued to make money hand over fist destroying the future for our children.
- blooalien 4y agoAnd then there were those of us who weren't even scared, and just took all those actions simply because it was the right thing to do. Now of course, we're just as screwed as everyone, all because more money for a few that already have too much of it is far more important than "doing the right thing" or "human life" (or any life, apparently). More money for the already filthy rich is by far the most important thing in the entire Universe.
