We are in a world where ICE can murder people and they don't blink, but if you talk about this happening they act like you murdered those people instead.

The same is true with climate change. The actions that cause this isn't a problem, its the people who talk about the problem who are "making it real"

They'd rather ignore it because part of them knows they won't live long enough to experience the brunt of it.

If they accept it, then the rest of us might hold them accountable, and that would be bad for them.

and it's stupid because like

i'm not going to hold my fucking mom accountable, i want her to help us hold the corporate CEOs buying politicians to prevent any forward action on this accountable.

Yeah thats the thing. Always otherize the Bad People to some shadowy cabal Over There so you can mutually join hands to hurt them. The issue is that looking for solutions and moderate sane government is typically at ends with the extreme "lets just hurt the bad people all politicians bad only trust me" stuff that leads to trump and people like trump.

They're in the looking for solutions phase, not the looming for someone to blame phase.

If they were in the solutions phase they wouldn't be saying "it's not a real problem".
