Sometimes it frustrates me that we feel the effects of climate change so slowly, if at all.
It’s not that I’m an apocalypse-monger, dreaming of mass hysteria induced by floods and droughts, shortages of food and fuel. Rather, I worry about people’s incredible ability to acclimate: to let changes go unnoticed, as long as they’re gradual over time.

And thus climate change inaction will continue.
