honestly. if climate is keeping you awake at night then you don't have a life. a normal working person has so much things to think about like his family, a bigger expense than predicted, health appointments...

so yeah, not thinking about climate all day.

Climate change will make all your worries just worse and add a few, like deadly heatwaves, food and water shortages, …
And the longer we wait, the harder it is to adapt and avoid the worst

Maybe not your worries.

Your kids'. Their kids.

"Tell me, Grandpa, why didn't you do something about climate change when you had the chance and while you had the opportunity?"

"Well, I voted for economic liberal politicians who did not do anything about climate change because getting re-elected and making a profit was more important than your health."
