Is Climate Change a Democratic priority?

7. Yeah, too late for that

Even if we could meet every single one of the Sustainable Development goals by 2030 -- which is a mere 14 years away -- we will still be experiencing the warming effects of current levels of CO2 and methane for the next 50-75 years. It takes that long to dissipate from the atmosphere.

NOTHING we do will stop the permafrost from melting, the WAIS from collapsing, the oceans from rising at least 20ft and god only knows when we could reverse the acidification of our oceans. We could stop emitting all CO2 today and we'd still face devastating climate change repercussions.

But this isn't just a political issue. People should be demanding climate change news every single day and following it the way we would any disaster. But humans are short-term attention animals and we can't focus on something that will happen "tomorrow", no matter how catastrophic.
