    It’s like everyone has given up on making plans for the future, and is just trying to hoard as much short-to-medium-term wealth as they can while it collapses? (countries and individuals)

    Very few people in power give a damn, and even those who do will be shot down by their superiors. Most environmental projects (that aren’t scams) won’t turn enough of a profit in a short enough time for the rich to care.

    I’ve tried to remain positive, but it’s getting more difficult every day.

    *American politics.

    My own nation’s leader was banging on about wanting to push to be a leader in climate change action just a few days ago, it made various headlines.

    It’s not like we’re all suddenly going to forget what’s happening around us because some other country just elected it’s first self-admitted Dictator.

    Americans can’t possibly be that far up their own arses.
