Fun hypothetical question of the day:
How many people need to die in a single catastrophic climate-related event before we take drastic and serious global action on climate change? I'm talking about drastic changes like the UN declaring a state of emergency and enacting strict laws on emissions, pollution, etc for ALL countries, enforced by trade laws and military action, if necessary.
This isn't scientific, I'm just curious what your estimate is.
I'm looking for a number. 25 million? A billion?
Keep in mind that a single climate event probably would be localized in one country/region, and that it is very difficult for people to care enough to drastically change their own ways in their own countries. The only way I see this affecting the entire world population enough to make serious change is if people saw an incident so devastating that they thought, "oh no, this could be us, next. Must act NOW."
What do you think? I'm not too serious about this, just sort of a fun question to think about like "what would you do in a zombie apocalypse?"
So, how many? 1/20th of the world's population? 1/5th?
