I often wonder how the general population will react when they truly realize the impacts of climate change. I’d imagine there could be three reactions:

  • Apathy, as in completely shutting down
  • Panic, as in severe mental breakdown
  • Action, protesting etc

Now that I think of it these are the fight, flight, freeze reactions. Any thoughts?

    I guess they’ll either drown, freeze, burn or starve.

    I don’t have the impression they’d act before they’re dying.

        I deny everything, and even that.

        The general population wants 2.3 kids (we have none), at least 3 holidays a year, preferably by plane (last holiday here was 2016, by car, but within 100 km),… As long as the general po[ulation breeds like rabbits and keep on flying, for one, I give our species not to much chance to not go extinct.
