Because most people aren't willing to change their lifestyles. If they admit to caring, they have to face the fact that their way of life will have to change - and they don't want to do that. It's easier to deny or diminish the problem, than to face it.

i observe that but simply dont understand it. we will all die. nobody's way of life, or level of comfort, is more important than that.

I agree! The masses choose apathy, because they don't want to think about things that upset them or give up any of their comforts (even though these comforts don't really make them happy). It's utter insanity. I'm wired differently to most, and I can't really understand it myself.

but their comforts will end when the climate apocalypse makes growing food, shipping goods, hunting game, or drinking water impossible. i know we're saying the same thing. some compulsive part of my brain is trying to reexamine the worldview until i get it. i dont think i will.

Think of them like little children covering their eyes and ears and hoping the monster goes away. Defense mechanisms are powerful things. www.earlyyears.tv/defense-mech...

if they cant actually grow up to literally stop the world from ending then i think a person actually becomes technically one of the most evil people ever at that point.

Agreed.

Most have no frame of reference. Corp news blacked out climate warming or minimized it as just an “environmental story.” The science is so simple too. But oil companies won the information war. And the information war with climate is everything.

even the people who know dont seem to care the necessary amount, though. people are seeing this post and admitting theyre giving up!
