A lot of people don’t, no. And that’s the problem… which is why I was saying it’s a shame. We are in for far more grief than almost anyone realises… the scale of the effects is well outside what most people can really imagine. And it can be avoided if we take concerted action… even at this late stage. But we’re not.
This is a much more immediate and tangible effect though. Climate change is much more abstract.
Is it abstract to people who have lost their relatives or their houses to weather events this year?
People don’t think like that though.

Only because there aren’t enough protests. If we had more protests and caused more tradies to be late then they would think that way.
Maybe they should?
You don’t get to decide how people think.
You can change the way they think by protesting. That’s the whole purpose of protesting.
I don’t see a measurable increase in extreme weather events as “abstract”.
One of those things is numbers and statistics, one of them is right in front of you.
ok, you need to look up the definition of abstract, because numbers and statistics are, by their nature, not abstract.
Pedantry, my friend.🥱 You’re missing the point.
15 min late and delaying 5,000 or so people is literally a number and stats
Not when it’s your time being wasted
Besides, the delay caused would have been a lot more than fifteen minutes.
