One of my favorite copes in the USA is that all this weather data is faked by Democrats / leftists, so no need to worry about it.
Another popular take is: "China is really filthy, so why should we try to be clean?"
"By the time things go really bad, I'll be dead, so who cares?"
Basically selfish people being selfish. I'd like to leave the world better than I found it, not worse.
This is why we can't have anything nice.
that level of selfishness is pathological.
and I mean it, as it literally harms others, so it's not just a quirky attitude.
Well, when I read your examples, I'm also like: WTF?
But at the same time, I also can't justify doing more than I'm already doing when companies and billionaires are so wasteful. I do recycle plastics etc, but it is becoming very difficult to justify me having to take this action, when 3M down the river just dumps all possible forever chemicals in our rivers and even have a government issued permit allowing them to do so.
So in short, on some level, I'm also selfish. Let the corporations and billionaires that pollute the most take action. There is very little someone like me can do, and I'm already doing most of the stuff I can. For instance, we have 2 electric cars, solar panels, well insulated home with a heatpump, we recycle as much we can, etc...
