why is humanity not taking the threats of global warming seriously?
I have a personal theory towards how humanity not taking the threats of global warming. I wrote a essay on this, ( I think it's on my old hard drive) Since it is 3 page essay and most people are younger in this forum I'll simplify the theory.
- Monkey See Monkey Do
- Limitations
- Economy
As much as we like to think have individualisim, every action and thought is still affected by what others say. There are few, ( very few ) people who have broken this structure of though, ( fantastic example is Zorba The Greek, even though he is not real.) Zorba didn't care about what people though, he just did whatever he wanted to do. In todays modern utopia humans are born into a rigging where they're actions are influenced by others. This is taught in the school system, ( with assignments and lesson plans) and is used commonly throughout the rest of your life. In otherwords Monkey See Monkey Do!
When people saw that a majority of people were worried about the enviroment it started a influx of people to start investing in helping it. David Suziki for example became much popular throughout 2007-2009. While his popularity was very low throughout 2005-2006. Saving the enviroment became a trend

. Soon enough though as every trend goes, this one ended. The lasting effect was a set of programs like the Montreal Protocol, Kyoto Protocol to have more investment.
The limitations to what countries were able to do were hit. Everything will hopefully be better by 2020 right? The goverment was powerless to really take in any further. They could hopefully work! Since humans are also completely lazy, nobody goes through enough of a effort to shorten their ecofootprint
The worlds economy is being funded by countries that have to get rid of precious recources to have money and be a largely successful nation. People don't care about nature because Human>Nature. Leading to large amounts of deforestation, desertification and other terrible things to occur.
Do you want me to delve into the case deeper? I'm willing to if needed
