In our world, there are few things that are categorically bad but climate change and hatred among people are among the greatest. Across the world and throughout history people have fought hatred but unfortunately, life is not a comic book, good doesn't always win. Climate change though is a novel issue but while may people want to do something about it nowhere near enough action has been taken. It seems every week a new story about a mass shooting or terrorist attack or yet another study about the dire effects of climate change. And even with huge movements that occasionally erupt (despite such events usually going without reacting), from where I stand the situation today is barely different than it was years ago. There is simply not enough reaction people have become deaf to the issues of our time because theses same issues are those of the previous generation and if they are not dealt with soon they will be the issues of the next generations, and the one after that, and (if there even is one) the one after that.
