CO2 emissions are still going up every year. I haven't seen any significant effort to stop global warming. When I look around me, I'm not surprised.

People just don't care enough.

They're not immediately affected.

The whole thing about global warming that almost never gets said;

Whole parts of the world that are inhabited now will become uninhabitable.

Or in other words: we're heading towards a giant economic crisis never seen before.

We'll see starvation and overpopulation and disease and of course=> more war!

The part you missed is that increased CO2 levels also increase aggression, and you can already see it in densely populated areas. I get to see people run red lights and even running red lights making left turns... in front of PD while they pulled someone over. Or taking a hard right in front of someone running parallel from the left lane (think two lane road). I haven't see that before.
