      i doubt anyone from the conservative media in my country would care. the indictment here is that the liberal media in my country is glossing over it and the democrats are uncritically eating it up.

        The whole concern about climate was exposed as being paper thin when China became the major producer of solar panels and EVs. All of a sudden, western countries stopped caring about the climate and started doing protectionist policies to prevent cheap Chinese tech from being used.

          that too is gone from the national narrative; but i suspect it will come back if western efforts to grey rock adoption of these chinese product succeeds.

          i bet that the pain that climate change induces will be the deciding factor.

            I expect so as well, and if the kinds of events like the the fire in LA are going to be the new normal then there’s going to be a huge incentive to start taking serious action. The economic damage is stupendous.
