The public underestimates everything about how they feel collectively because they are constantly being marketed to by people who own the media … who are also the ones who want to hide / obfuscate / confuse the conversation about climate change.
The same people who own the media are the same people who constantly, consistently and continually control all of the information and communications that everyone needs in order to understand the world.
The problem is always the same … the ones with the all the money and power are the ones causing the majority of the world’s problems … they are also the ones who keep tight control of making as many of us as unaware of that fact as much and as often as possible.
Because the assholes who run the news don’t care, partly because they love money but mostly because they are just incredibly weird and out of touch people

We would need to sacrifice a significant amount of living standard to stop it right now,
No we wouldn’t. Tax the rich and use the money to pay for green energy infrastructure, public transit, and denser housing. Boom, instant increase in jobs, transport options, and quality of life once the new walkable housing is done.
Tackling climate change is easy and it will make our lives better.
I don’t think many people have good understanding of what living standard even actually means, which in turn causes fear and anxiety when they are told it would drop. And I think it is much overexaggerated how much this drop would actually affect daily life for majorty of the people around the world.
Yeaaahh, see, our living standard is going to drop because of climate change anyway. If we act sooner we get more choices about how and who suffers.
I prefer a handful of billionaires “suffer” now instead of literally billions of poor people in a couple of decades… That’s a choice we could make.
Not a vote winner, obvs. So we’ll just continue to sleepwalk into the unknown.
And what does care mean? There are so many degrees of caring. End of the day it doesn’t matter. It’s their voting behavior and their lifestyle choices that tell us how much they really care.
