Where I live in western Europe there are clear signs of change. Dry, hot summers, yet more flooding, sky resorts closing shop.

But I fully agree that scaremongering doesn't help. Evidently: with COVID gone roads are more crowded than ever, air traffic on pre pandemic levels, no less meat consumption.

It's not that no one is scared, is just that most people don't know how to change.

There's no authority to trust anymore. We know dirty stories about every government, every institution, every celebrity, about our parents and friends. People are more lost than ever because it's become normal to feel that everything is trying to exploit you. And so people forwent reaching out and creating a collective civilization, despite being more enabled in terms of communication and connectivity than ever.
