Srsly though imagine if governments treated climate change with anything like the same seriousness as they're treating covid19

@lazarski

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

At the end of the day, preventing climate change is isn't really their primary priority.

And that's precisely why climate change containment is not like COVID-19...
