Doom doom doom all the time
Doomsday 9-11? Will only a true catastrophe ignite real climate change action?
Did you hear about the wildfire smoke in New York City? Of course you did. We all did. That’s because New York City is a global media center, an important economic hub for the world, and one of the largest cities on the planet. And the news was stark, startling, amazing: (doomy stuff on the wildfires, which really have nothing to do with ‘climate change’ in the real world)
We are seeing a direct result of climate change and it is directly affecting millions of people in the United States. In the worst-case scenario, people in NYC will find there are days and possibly weeks throughout the summer when they are not be able to go outside without masks and eye protection. They will likely need to buy indoor filtration systems since the smoke leaks into homes, apartments, and offices. Tourism could plummet.
Here is the strange thing. All of this smoke in America’s most important city is not enough to spur any real action on climate change. We do not see a million New Yorkers out protesting in the streets. We do not see any real action from politicians. Even though the smoke makes the city untenable if it continues, no one is proposing that we do anything significant about it.
Compare this reaction to the reaction after the attacks on September 11, 2001. Two airplanes stuck two buildings in New York City and the entire nation was up in arms about it. Think of everything that came in the wake of 9/11 – All kinds of changes and safety measures were put into place, with their own significant costs in terms of time and money.
