Just wake up.... climatologists are writing about their depression due to their work. Changes are not fast, so we think it is slow. What changes is already enough and you cannot plan a date for the disater, just see it has started already. The number of years? it is not even seconds compred to the million of years and the future of the youngest. I am glad i will see little of the changes...
I am in enough different groups about change and ecoanxiety and why nobody reacts and make think others that nothing is wrong.... just because you do not live where you would see it!
1st is denial because change is slow.
You are all looking at the strange wave from the beach, wondering what it is, and you do not listen when they tell you to run, until you realize it is a tsunami. What I saw in video when there was this first big tsunami.... I live in a place where climate change is obvious. People will tell you how it was raining during days and now only a few hours....
After denial comes the shock and then you think you can do nothing and may fall into hedonism or drugs. In the USA people are defending children's right, ok, but immigration comes from people who cannot stay home. i dont mind emotions there. I know what will happen because it has happened before. America was invaded by europeans who were fleeing the bad conditions and natives defended themselves. Now you are told you are a bad person if you defend your frontiers!
As always: live your life as if you were going to die tomorrow or in 50 years or even more. For me, 50 is enough! So, climate change does not import. Most of us have a way of life that takes from the next generations. Go to minimalism and learn how to reach a state of joy with nothing you have to pay for. All that you do is better than nothing but you will know war, famine and illness. If not recovered and needing meds and supps, you will not resist. Read about positive deep adaptation, because resilience needs to be prepared BEFORE any event.
We are worse than Noe: we wait for the big rain to start to build the boat!
