Scorching summer of 2003 triggered first efforts to deal with the problem but heatwaves still have devastating impact
Not only global warming. Decades of AI advancements, Chinese growth, water wars, advancing third world countries, …
It started with the continued exploitation of the third world to bribe the population with a good life. The public broadcasters had the duty to make the population aware so that parties would have become popular who would have taken responsibility. Instead we were just made aware and accepted our helplessness.
The mindset that we can have a good life while others suffer is the same that doesn’t care if our future selfs suffer.
Regardless of the broadcasters, in a democracy the population is responsible. We should have demanded better public debates and better politics.
