"Apathy" how about "Wizardry".
You are all now talking about pollution CO carbon monoxide, exhausts,
not global warming CO2 methane, heat.

How can someone act like an intellectual and actually seek to aim for "a decarbonized world". Is the ludicrousy lost on him?

MY guy said : "I don't want to be bothered with having to deal with climate change. I'm too busy. Please stop talking about it."

I replied : "You dont have time to become a vegetarian? That in itself would reduce methane and deforestation greatly . You dont have time to stop taking pleasure trips and stay home working in you garden for and walking in you neighbor hood visiting neighbors for vacation . Doing the right things does not take time it saves it . If you eat meat you will get heart attack and cancer. Do you have TIME for that ? Eating meat will give you LESS TIME on this earth . Doing what is right will save you time to do what you need to do and give you longer life to do it ."
