Why care about climate change?! #climatechange #shorts

What a helpful metaphor, thank you :)

Perfect!!!

I'll care for the climate as soon as being alive is affordable again.
Promise.

Exactly! Thank you! It's that simple!

That's a very good metaphor

Great way of illuminating the nature of the problem.

Progressing on from capitalism is the only way to plug all of those holes. Well, update all those buckets to better ones actually.

I care, but the age of hope is over. The age of justice has begun.

The problem is: it might affect all of these other topics but it is not immediate enough. If I care about my family for example or wine there are other things to optimize or strive for that yield a more immediate reward or response. I agree that climate change affects all of these and might even be the largest “lever” long term but it is long term (or medium term) and also a little more complicated than other everyday things and people just don’t see that by default. But overall I totally agree. I just think it’s not done with this metaphor. And it can’t be put to everyone’s responsibility because it is not immediate enough that’s what governments are for and they should ideally give nudges and incentives to make it more immediate. In the end most people are greedy optimizers.

I think many of us know why but haven't figured how, at speed and scale! 🔥

Does that mean industrial powerhouses are the toddlers running around with a drill, putting holes in our buckets?

Never thought of it that way, great point.

Be honest, in how many buckets did you ACTUALLY drill holes? 💚
