Once the science is clear to people, and they see that rapid, profound, positive political/economic/social change is possible, then it is easy to see that they care. That's why I try to inform people.
What is 'the end' exactly, and when is it? The end of what? I wouldn't know..

Possibly one of the most severe threats is the potential thawing of Arctic seabed permafrost which has been frozen since the last Ice Age.
A release of methane could give 0.6°C warming of the planet in the space of just 5 years.
That's unthinkable horror.counterpunch.org/2016/06/17/epi…

The continuous feedback loop of melting permafrost is speeding up, triggering amplifying feedbacks.
Are we rapidly approaching a climate death spiral, or are we already in it?

We can't prevent abrupt thawing of permafrost, it is collapsing suddenly as pockets of ice within it melt.

And we know - science is clear on this - it is all inter-dependent, interconnected, co-dependent. This demarcation of tipping points - a coral reef tipping point there, oh, a separate rain forest tipping point here, hey another permafrost tipping point there - is not credible.

Permafrost is set to be as big a source of greenhouse gases as the world’s largest emitting countries within decades.

Nitrous oxide emissions from thawing Alaskan permafrost are far higher than previously assumed.
(N2O traps heat nearly 300 times more efficiently than carbon dioxide does...)

Will 40% of the world’s permafrost melt at 2°C by the 2030s?

Abrupt permafrost thawing is disrupting deeper carbon stockpiles more rapidly and releasing more methane than gradual thawing.

It's really wild to think that the onus is largely thought to fall to the US to do something about climate given its sheer market power and history of big ass industrial policy and it is at this point thanks to decades of neoliberalism arguably not even a functional democracy

The challenge of accurately assessing extinction risk begins with a lack of data on endangered species.
'More than a million species are at risk of extinction...But even some species that aren't considered endangered may be less safe than people think.'
