All these things can be traced back to Capitalism, an economic model which demands constant, infinite growth or a finite planet. In order to undo the damage to the environment and walk-back the climate apocalypse, we would have to take away power from the people we have spent the last 400 years giving as much power, influence and money too as possible.

At this point I think it's a foregone conclusion, there just isn't time to stop what we have created. We made selfishness the yardstick by which we measured success, and now we have to reap what we sowed. The people with the power to reduce climate change on the scale required also have the resources to survive it in luxury, and also to capitalize and benefit from the unfolding crisis even further.

People "seem not to care" because caring doesn't do anything. People aren't up in arms about climate change for the same reason they aren't up in arms when it rains -there's fuck all we can do about it, so we can either choose to care, and live our lives in frustration and misery and die to catastrophic climate change, or we can ignore it, live somewhat happy lives and then die to catastrophic climate change.

On balance, which of those sounds more fun to you?
