How did we somehow lose the information war on climate change?

Climate change is, IMO, the most important issue of our time. It trumps any other issue because, in a very obvious way, transpeople in sports, the war in Ukraine, abortion, health care, and everything else don't really matter that much if the planet is constantly both on fire and under water.

And in recent years, we've seen more and more evidence of climate change actually being a thing that is effecting us. It seems like just about every year we have some kind of record wildfire that causes billions in damages. If you look at this graph of CA wildfires, it's easy to see the trendline:

I think we had a wildfire in Australia a few years back that killed like 80% of the wildlife. Absolutely insane, and these record disasters are like a annual occurrence now.

And yet despite this, no one seems to care. The GOP is full in on "drill baby drill," and Dems don't even talk about climate change that much, other than just to mention in along with like 20 other issues.

I don't know about you guys, but I think about climate change like every day. I want my kid to actually grow up and be able to raise children herself if she wants to. But I mean, looking at how fast things are accelerating with the climate, I doubt that will even be possible. And yet, no one seems to care about the reality that humanity will be greatly diminished in probably 50-100 years.

I'm just stunned at how we can possibly completely lose an information war on something that is obviously happening, and has a good chance of wiping out most humans on the planet.
