Dunno about anyone else but personally: I don't care because I can't afford food each month. Worrying where your next meal comes from focusing your mind somewhat.

What, Rockefeller's plans coming to fruition?
People do care but they struggle to make change against the rich who do not care
This is absolutely not true, but true for the capital class.
Yeah, there’s alot of people feeling anxiety about it and we can see the world around us sliding, but the people who are ultimately responsible for trashing the environment are the ones who are feeling apathetic. They’ve gotten their wealth at the expense of the planet, and when things get shittier, they’ll hole themselves up in their silos and bunkers, each carrying on with their own Masque of the Red Death, but they’ll succumb in the end.
I wouldn't say they're pathetic, I think it's more that they don't dare anger the shareholders/owner class.
Shareholders/Owners to C- suits: "What, you're worried about a few more devastating storms and food shortages? That's for the poors to worry about! We pay you enough not to care, now back to work making us trillionaires!"
Because god forbid the share price drops 2 points because they're trying to destroy the planet a little less.
I mean even a cursory bit of online research demonstrates that not only are the vast majority of people aware of man made climate change, they also consider it personally important and a government priorty: https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/international-public-opinion-climate-change-2023-appendix.pdf
We're way past the point of no return if you factor in economics and societal pressure.
I agree with the message but Holy shit this is a awful meme
Fucking egghead scientists, what have they ever done for us?
Well other than making the computer I'm typing on right now. And warning us about the ozone layer before we all got skin cancer. And the sanitation, we were all getting cholera before we knew about separating the poop water from the drinking water. And the airplanes, and trains, and...
But other than all of those things, what have the egghead scientist done for us? Why should we believe them?
When your headline is that every week for the past 20 years it gets desensitizing, yeah.
Stupid take. The headline was true and the call to action happened. But then people went back to doing stupid shit and using chemicals again. You might be too young to remember the ozone hole and how it healed and now it's getting worse again.
But oh no! Headlines continue to come as they get ignored and things get worse and worse.
Ozone hole is still a ‘W’!
While it increased in size last year that was in response to weather conditions that change year to year. Granted some of that may be in response to Global Warming, so that sucks.
Just like with Global Warming, any changes take place over decades or centuries. In this case the reduction in HFC emissions won’t get the atmosphere back to 1980 levels until 2040. At least we should see this success in our lifetimes: I hope some of y’all see a similar win for global warming, but it’s well beyond average life expectancy for me
The only people that can do something about it at a large enough scale are the governments, and they are too tied into business and industry and keeping ahead of the other governments. Most of the governments know they took a wrong turn but few are willing to leave the race for fear of falling behind.
We're already suffering from devastating storms and droughts. At least the country where I'm from.
It'll happen one day... maybe...
You're gonna care when bread goes past a fiver a loaf.
