These are terrifying graphs and I don’t like looking at them. Academically, I’m fully aware of the horror and threat that climate change poses, but these graphs and the massive fires really make it feel more real.
that’s how it goes. we’re in this transformation but most people don’t notice it because they experience the world and things seem to be ok (for now, or they are distracted by some other insignificant thing), and this is not even mentioning the economic and political obstacles that block any meaningful change.
I think the likely scenario is people won’t seriously start to be concerned (and by serious i mean taking proactive steps across their individual and social lives) until this situation further develops and it will be a bit too late. I hope i’m wrong.

I fear that you’re right, but I too hope that you’re wrong.
