Research conducted by researchers at the University of Gothenburg shows that people tend to rate their own risk of being affected by climate change as lower than that of others. This perception may reduce individuals’ willingness to act and slow down necessary climate measures.
The researchers observed the effect in Europe, the United States and Asia, but the discrepancy was most pronounced among Europeans.
Even in mild climates it’s causing massive heat and/or chill spikes that will kill crops and destroy trees and other plants.
You’re affected, and this article is proving the point quite well with comments like yours.
Oh I’m by no means trying to imply that it’s not necessary to enact massive changes in order to fight climate change, I think it’s one of the most important things to do right now.
