Humans have gone "enough is enough", but not the ones with the power to change things, as they're all wealthy/connected enough that neither they or any of their children will suffer negative effects. Imagine telling them they'll have to cut their 4 European vacations a year down to 2.
- wslack 3y agoI don't think climate action controls majorities in many countries.

- caskstrength 3y ago> Humans have gone "enough is enough", but not the ones with the power to change things, as they're all wealthy/connected enough that neither they or any of their children will suffer negative effects. Which "humans" exactly? First they elect politicians for feel-good green promises, but then when time comes to actually pay the price of becoming "greener" they lose their shit like "I meant all _other_ people to make sacrifices for green future, not _me_!!!". For good examples see Gilets jaunes or recent German walkback from fossil fuel heating systems ban that was supposed to start from 2024.
