From The Guardian opinion - Elizabeth Cripps

'Reasons for apathy' #3: “It’s the government's problem”

"Climate change is a catastrophic failure by governments. But we are voters, and governments act on our behalf. Many of us are drivers, flyers, meat-eaters. Morally speaking, we can share responsibility for harms we are part of or those we fail to prevent between us. I’m not saying you (or I) should feel guilty about this unfolding global disaster, but we should feel ashamed. We should act."

"Leaders at the global conference [COP26], which ends today [Nov. 12], described climate change as an existential threat to humanity that demands a concerted response. In a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, however, Americans split, 45-49%, on whether it's "an urgent problem that requires immediate government action" or "a longer-term problem that requires more study" first. (Five percent volunteer that it's not a problem.) Views that it's urgent are 8 percentage points off their peak, 53%, in 2018." - ABC News  Continue reading.

Did you read that?
"a longer-term problem that requires more study" - 49%!

The government won't fix it unless we push them!
Let's come together!
