Seems obvious to me that we have a dire situation here that is inarguably no less important than COVID was, and yet for COVID we were willing to take drastic steps, curtail civil liberties, etc, but for climate change we do the absolute bare minimum. And this isn’t just the elites nor doing anything - a few weeks ago someone on this forum mentioned that they didn’t go on a European vacation because he didn’t want to contribute to climate change and I posted a comment thanking him for adopting that mindset and this was likely my most downvoted comment on HN with the consensus being that I am off my meds to even suggest that individuals should play a role in the solution, when “we all know it is just the mega corps doing this”. The fact is, we all need to be more hand-wavy about this in terms of drastically different personal decisions AND mega corps need to change their ways (which happens when people refuse to work for them and refuse to buy their products and services) AND governments need to take COVID-like action to limit civil liberties and force change. We need to throw everything we’ve got at this, but instead we’ll do the bare minimum and pretend like the heat and pollution only affects other people.
