Are people just not interested in climate change?
So the new IPCC report on climate change is out. As expected, bad news. The world has around 3 years to drastically reduce emissions to avoid the worst effects of climate change in a few decades. Sea levels rising (1-8 feet, displacing millions in just the US alone), droughts, more powerful storms, flooding, landslides. This would of course disproportionately affect the poorest people, as usual. A huge percentage of the world is already breathing polluted air on a daily basis.

Are people not interested in this? I would think parents would care that the lives of their children are looking like they will be very different, likely hazardous. I'm really curious why people aren't pissed at those in power. What's the deal?

Also, 1-8 feet of sea level rise?

Last projections I saw were "worst case scenario" type numbers that suggested we're looking at 1 foot of sea level rise over 100 years (I think they said if it "accelerated" then we'd be looking at maybe 2 feet).

Currently rising around 3.4 millimeters per year...

If the rate of change continues, in about 7.5 years, the ocean will have raised by 1 inch... which means that in 90 years, it will have raised 1 foot.

I just want to see where these numbers come from.
