One reason might be the increasing likelyhood for everybody's violent death maybe?

The Financial Times in the UK has an entire climate change section, read the comments in any article published there.

nearly everything we do is wrong, so its easier to lie to ourselves and keep doing the same stupid things.

I used to think the top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation, and we scientists don't know how to do that." -James Speth

Cuz they’re owned by the people overheating the planet.

Because it always ends with "but the economy!"

Same reason your dad looks away when Santa starts kissing your mom.

Because paying attention and trying to reverse course doesn't benefit entrenched wealth and power.

The shareholders demand a blood sacrifice.

War generates more clicks than the environment and there's a few of those going on at the moment.

'news' in western for-profit society, are NOT what WE need, but what the Ychopath elite wants us to know and think. Unfortunately, western population have gotten the information/belief that western "journalism" actually ensures true information and hence gives a true window to what is happening in the world, so they keep listening to the propaganda crap and keep regurgitating it on social media for everyone to see..

Btw. If you noticed a lot of media attention to climate a few years ago - together with so-called "wokeness" (I was 'woke') etc - I'm afraid it was all propaganda campaigns aimed at getting EU to cut off fossils from Russia. The immense scope and effectiveness of these campaigns are beyond what ordinary people can even imagine, and they are being bombarded with "See, 'conspiracy-theorists', let's laugh at them so to deflect our believers attention". It is pure manipulation, and it works..

The nasty fact is that Western Oligarchs - the s*itters in power, don't care shit about 'climate', 'diversity', 'freedom', 'Democracy' or ANY such pro-social attitudes. 'Wellfare', security from psychopaths, freedom from surveillance capitalism, and other nasty effects from capitalism that enshittifies everything around us, are what we don't get ! They care about power and are completely dominating the western for-profit information sphere, and most key political positions (manufacturing consent).

We in the West are NOT fighting for anything good - we are getting ass-pounded every second by the worst 'Dark Triad' scum in world history - the US/Western Capitalist Elite, while the same elite use us to spread their warmongering hate-propaganda and fight their insane wars against everyone and every nation not bowing down to their regime..

Basically all media is owned by Billionaires, the ones responsible for boiling the planet and bringing us fascism. Epstein's clients

Sing along if you know the words:

The purpose of news corporations is not to inform. The purpose of news corporations is not to serve the public interest. The highest priority of any news corporation is to make money.
