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?
Well don’t forget that humanity always has one last trump, and that is geo-engineering. At the moment, that is deemed too dangerous and the current effects of climate change do not yet justify it, but eventually, the large-scale modification of our atmosphere might be a method employed to offset the greenhouse gas impact.
