Srsly though imagine if governments treated climate change with anything like the same seriousness as they're treating covid19
Won't happen. Climate change consequences are diffused, same as with deaths from car accidents and cardiovascular diseases. People are unable to perceive such risks seriously. In case of Covid-19 politicians and businesses are concerned of short-term and mid-term losses which are quite likely. In case of climate change losses are long-term and uncertain, and they believe they have "emergency measures" at hand if things really go south.
@kravietz I know, it's true, I'm just expressing my general frustration, it's beyond absurd
There's also another side to that: Covid-19 containment action plan has clear and unambiguous goals.
In case of climate change we have probably a dozen of contradictory narratives, each of them fighting others.
Nobody is really concerned about *only* reversing the climate change. Some would like to sell more gas, some want to do a social revolution, some want to get rid of this or that, essentially everyone has some vested interests they want to do on the way.
