Is there a single country that hasn’t had to deal with extreme weather events in the past 2 years?

This shit is accelerating. We aren’t reacting fast enough to slow it down.

We aren't reacting at all because the people in power don't care.

And with that I don't even mean politicians -although the narrative is popular- but in many cases the voters who just want to live the few decades they have left as always without any changes.

The majority of the people that feel that way do so because they’re consistently lied to about climate change by the elite who actually don’t care.

That used to be “their” internal narrative it will all happen after I’m dead so what do I care?

It’s happening now and getting worse quickly.
