You're certainly not denying climate change, but maybe you're someone who doesn't care about the impact, as long as humanity survives. And why should we care? There are so many reasons not to care.
- We're out of touch with nature.
- Even for those in touch with nature, the human scale is too short to personally see and feel any change.
- The individual's responsibility is extremely diluted with the rest of humanity.
It will sound cheesy, but I care because of the beauty of nature. An extinction event is something that destroys biodiversity, and biodiversity is the source of this beauty as I feel it. Maybe the diversity of life will return in another form a few million years later (and maybe not), but simply understanding the act of destruction that is underway does impact me emotionally, and makes me want to stop it.
