"Hundreds of millions of animals, by some estimates, have perished or are facing starvation or dehydration in devastated habitats." 😕

For some reason, with massive, concentrated animal suffering, the idea that "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic" gets flipped. It's easier to accept cycle of life and death when it is not this kind of massive, pointless, painful kill-off.

The view of humans as separate from nature may come into play here as well. One death in nature is just the circle of life, a million deaths is "noooo wait this isn't how it usually works have you tried turning the climate off and on again?"
