    As much as I don’t want people to suffer, but if we get a “century flood” every year for 5 years in a row MAYBE people will start to think and vote for a gouvernment focused on climate protection

      that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

      A single freak-weather event is a tragedy. But if it happens again and again, people maybe start to see a pattern and listen to reason again. That way we can enable them to FINALLY do the stuff that make a change.

      Sadly, most humans don’t learn from reason or logic. It takes pain and suffering of some kind for them to embrace real change. Be it monetary pain or actual loss of anything they can feel. Yeah, I wish there was an easier and less impactful way, but from what I learned - that’s idealistic dreaming.
