This will likely be a pattern across the planet as unsustainable practices are still the norm and will likely be so for many more decades. The timescales of climate change, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss are too slow to be perceived as "real" risks. But they create underlying stresses that may push human systems beyond thresholds and tipping points at "random" times. In other words, indirect impacts may be much more visibly damaging, although the causal links not easy to internalize. For the majority of people the detrimental outcomes of their own behavior might as well be attributed to supernatural forces, "others" or any other deflection of responsibility.
