Civil Disobedience FTW
Complaining about climate change will not make governments move nor civil disobedience, only when we get more than 100+ deaths due to hot temperatures per day and food shortage governments will react.
Sadly that's how our species work on a global scale, something must go really wrong to make the world do something about it.
Sometimes I wonder how bad things must get to make the whole world actually do something? probably we'll know soon.
Have you seen Mad Max by any chance...?
No they won't. Adressing climate change does not fix short term issues. When there's immediate issues (say flooding), we'll invest in solutions to those issues (like an upriver dam).
@Cyo Luckily most of us live in a democracy. We get to select our government and change it as all of us see fit.
We can change things. It is up to all of us
