Why aren’t we more scared of the climate crisis? It’s complicated
Why aren’t we more scared of the climate crisis? It’s complicated
Despite extreme heat and weather in the US, most Americans aren’t cowering in fear. There’s a psychological reason for it
How do you know people aren't already overloaded with fear? The fear of losing your job and livelihood because your employer just mildly dislike you.
That italicized "mildly" just resonated with me a little too much.
WE are scared. The government and the media are beholden to corporate interests that benefit from keeping us docile. It doesn’t help that some of the biggest polluters spend vast amounts on disinformation campaigns in an attempt to deflect blame.
Corporate interests are not forcing people to buy bigger cars every few years.
Not “forcing”, no. Nobody has shown up at my home with a gun, and demanded that I buy a new car. It’s “only” strongly encouraged by the consumerism that corporate interests have made sure is prevalent in society.
Corporations could have invested more in fuel efficiency, alternate fuels, and electric vehicles, but haven’t. They could stop lobbying in favor of policies that are against the public interest. The government could take a much tougher stance on this, but it’s too corrupt.
Maybe they haven’t “forced” us. They’ve just gone out of their way to reduce our choices.
Been terrified for well over twenty years.
No. It's okay. Companies are going zero carbon via carbon credits. Everything is fine /s
I'm pretty terrified, might not want kids because of it and other reasons. But not sure yet.
Pretty much panicking, funnily enough I'd resigned myself (still tried to life a green life) until having kids, but you've got to try and do everything you can otherwise what future are we giving them?
Because we care more about presidents son naked images.
Something something hunter biden laptop jewish space laser illuminati democrat climate hoax...

100 years of propaganda telling everyone not to worry about it?
Because we are more terrified by smaller cars, bicycles and going somewhere by foot.
No one really cares and it is so obvious. We have set up rules and didn't managed to change them 😞 n time
