I live in a very different world. In my world, 99%+ of people are in denial about climate change and what it means for the future of humanity. It's uncomfortable and there is no quick solution, so you just stop thinking about it. It's a very well documented psychological reaction for events out of your (immediate) control.

There are also multiple comments on HN stating the opposite is true, scientists are lying about how bad the situation is for fear of people just giving up or worse, panicking. No facts around this, just wanted to mention we are far from a consensus here.
