"West cares about environmental disasters" I don't think there has been a week in the last 20 years where there hasn't been an environment piece in the news. I would argue the West cares very deeply about the environment, certainly more so than the East, Far East and Middle East. Or looking at it another way, "suddenly The West cares about the Houthis," is more accurate. This is probably a "sell the upcoming military action with Houthi's to the public" piece. They're using the environment angle because they know it will stick better than reporting about it jamming up the supply chain.
