i think it’s worth mentioning that a human will gain familiarity with the environment that they grow up in.
we foster an environment where the environment burns down, and the people earning a lot of money (suggesting responsibility) are wimpy losers who cannot solve this problem. let decades pass, and the new generation considers it unsolvable.
Or, worse, they consider the changed world normal because they never personally knew anything better. This is the “shifting baseline” theory and it is an absolutely terrifying thought.

That’s not the problem, but I really wish it was. The problem is that the people who are actually in charge are psychopaths who don’t give a shit about doing anything to the problem, and are more motivated to actually make things worse
