I'm always reminded of the scene in The newsroom, where they have the guy from the epa who essentially says it's already too late to save us from climate oblivion. They wanted him to calm the message and played down the doom.
That was from 2012.
Nothing has changed at all. Humans are rubbish at dealing with problems that are more than a year or so down the road.
Yep! I thought something similar.
The Paris Accords were a decade ago. Anyone who is paying attention at all shouldn’t be surprised.
