This shows how hard it is for many people to look any further than the direct future. It’s exactly this incapability that caused inaction on climate change for 30 years. (In a way, we are the future victims of our own stupidity)

It's a strange upside to the epidemic. Hopefully the Chinese government will also make the ban on wildlife wet markets permanent, which would help protect biodiversity.

Fear is a powerful motivator and most people just aren't as fearful of the impacts of climate change as they are of a global virus (or war, or the next financial crisis...)

Because some see a virus as a specific & personal threat, whereas they perceive
#ClimateCrisis as a more general, diffuse threat that they have no agency over, a "tsunami" that cannot be stopped by any personal action of theirs. Numbed and immobilized, like rabbits in a headlightHvala. Twitter će to iskoristiti za poboljšanje vaše vremenske crte. PoništiPoništi
