I find it sad that things like rising sea levels and mass extinction do not worry you. Should someone only care about things that affect their own personal life? Rising sea levels are going to affect a large amount of people negatively, and mass extinction means we are losing a lot of biodiversity that we needn't be. Your viewpoint seems to lack empathy for other people and other species.

Before you question a person’s empathy, honestly, what are you doing about those subjects yourself specifically? A key difference between empathy and sympathy, in all common definitions, is objectivity. Sitting around feeling sad on social media is sympathetic, not empathetic.
