It’s starting to feel like people might be paying attention.
Maybe that’s wishful thinking. While the possibility of climate change was raised as early as 1896, scientists’ concerns didn’t start burgeoning until the late 1960s. That’s when the warnings began, each year growing increasingly dire; that’s when the evidence started mounting, becoming steadily more conclusive.
Most decided not to listen. They decided to keep having cars and hamburgers and kids, figuring someone else would fix it. Nobody did, so now we’ve got two bad options: Do nothing and die, or do what we can to make our oncoming catastrophe just a bit less catastrophic (and also die).
