Such an issue is hard to affect on a personal scale, perhaps this is part of the reason for the indifference?

If there isn't anything I can personally do to resolve it and it's a slow barely visible change, I'll sit quietly and hope for some of the worlds governments to fund a viable solution.

I totally agree. Of course climate change and its newly announced irreversability is alarming. It's really hard, though, to figure out what immediate, effective action one can take.

That's a good explanation indeed. But then again that applies to almost anything of a political nature.
