Is it a big situation though? I mean it's not small obviously, but compared to other events (Syria earthquake, war in Ukraine, hurricanes in Puerto Rico, blackouts in Texas, wild fires in California, snow storms across the NE US, Covid etc it seems small. (not unimportant, but small.) Granted this is very man-made, and apparently the result of very human profit motives. Which means politics. Which means its a 5 minute topic until the next political outrage comes along. Ultimately Rihanna gets more attention because discussing that doesn't devolve into a screaming match of the intrinsic americaness of exploitation over environment and people. And just like Flint the media will move on, but there's not a lot of long-term progress. Just like another mass shooting, the politicians will offer hopes and prayers, but won't take any action. I know, I'm jaded and cynical, but frankly media attention means nothing. It doesn't change minds, or votes, so ultimately events like this are just a "cost of doing business". It sucks, but am I wrong?
