Honestly, I'm beginning to think that constantly ringing the alarm bells desensitizes people. These sorts of articles year after year are creating people that either don't care or don't think their life matters enough to care, considering "life won't be worth living in 20 years anyways."

So I'm not sure what there is to be done, it's like a catch 22. Tell people nothing and they leave it out of their minds, tell them about it and they get desensitized, maybe mobilizing the people is doomed to fail from the start and this thing is irreversible.
