i mean it, USAmericans don’t get it. climate change activism there is always “in 30 years, things will be so bad”. you don’t get it. you do not get it. it’s already bad. the sea levels rising has already affected islands and coastal regions, it’s just not affecting you. it’s already an issue. farms are already being flooded by salt water. land is already becoming smaller. sea walls are already being built. in arid places, droughts are already threatening supplies. water resources are being reserved. fires are destroying biodiversity and wreaking absolute havoc on the ecosystem, the land, the air…
it is already a crisis.
this is why i get so mad at climate change activists from the americas and from europe who only talk about their own countries. it’s not like its hard on my country either: but i’m seeing it. i’m seeing the people who are moving countries because there’s not enough land anymore - not enough farming so not enough resources. i’m seeing how kids have been taught how to use water wisely for the last decade or two. i’m seeing the devastation, the loss, the beaches slowly shrinking even where i live.
it is already a crisis.
