The west could care less until it impedes every day life. This article is still too young.

Yep. It’s going to get worse every year until we all die or kill each other for basic resources.

Now, I’m not a betting man but with the tensions in Asia and Iran and the war in Ukraine I’d put my money on self-imposed extinction while fighting over whatever resources we haven’t plundered yet

The same could be said about the non west. Let's not act like it's always the bad west. Because atleast they try changing for the good.
Non west? Could give two fucks less.

Do you drive a car and fly in planes and use electricity Warling?? Humm?? Why don't you live without those things? I already know the answer...cause you're a hypocrite .... And because you can't. You just like to act all high and mighty and lecture others to seem like you're better than everyone else...while you are actually EXACTLY like everyone else.., you 'climate activists are all the same.
