Just to make sure I've pissed off everyone, it's not boomers buying Temu every week. Climate change is a very abstract, slow moving problem, and if I had to guess humans just have a limit.
The funny thing is, we talk mad shit about frogs, but they actually will jump out of a pot that gets too warm - although they probably don't think too deeply about it, as much as they just get uncomfortable.
Yeah in the experiment that is often referenced; the frogs had to be lobotomised to stop them just jumping out of the pot whenever they felt like it.
At least in the original experiment, anyway. According to Wikipedia, later Victorian authors claimed it always worked, but modern scientists think that's huey. Ponds can and do get slowly too hot in nature, so it'd be weird if that was just lethal.
Agreed. I don’t mean age in ‘generation’ but rather our collective selfishness across age lines.
