There's an interesting movie called Don't Look Up[0] which is a metaphor for climate change politics.

> The impact event is an allegory for climate change, and the film is a satire of government, political, celebrity, and media indifference to the climate crisis.[6][7]

After watching, I agreed that when the world eventually burns, people will be live streaming and tweeting about it instead of going out and actually doing something about it. We all have a part to play in this, and armchair activism behind the comfort of social media will do jack shit to solve this problem. Addressing climate change head on will be the biggest amount of cooperation humanity will ever have to do. After we address it, it will not be as hard to maintain decent temps. We can sail on this rock for millennia once we get out there and make shit happen.

The truth is, no one is willing to give up their comfort and luxury that's necessary to decrease global energy usage without putting lives at risk. It's technically possible, but people are use unwilling currently. I think as things get worse there will come a point where people start doing so out of overwhelming climate anxiety

We're in the frying pan now and flame is cranked...

Man that movie was horrible. Unfortunate because it might've been helpful in convincing people to believe in consequences if it was good enough to finish.
