    People won’t care until it’s in their backyard. A couple of ads from BP and they’ll blame themselves a bit then start “recycling” their water bottles not knowing that recycling is bullshit.

      most of australia’s recycling ends up in Indonesia being melted down and thus polluting the environment anyway.

        US trash used to go China, but now they don’t take it anymore, so I don’t know what landfill they threw it in

      The problem is, it’s already in our backyards. From record breaking forest fires, to record breaking heat, and record breaking droughts…

        Every republican I’ve ever talked to says, “this is a normal climate cycle, and it happens throughout history”. It is like they were all taught the same thing.

      hey, but how far does your backyard go? Don’t you feel at least for your city, your country? Why not something bigger?

        It goes as far as their backyard goes. There is a lot of “me me” in this world, my friend

          There is also “us” which is a larger “me”. Large problem like unintentional geoengineering needs large “us” to control and reverse. There are political implications of this kind of “us”.
