you ignore it until you can't anymore

What we actually need is classes on critical thinking - basic formal and informal logic as a mandatory part of school cirriculums at whatever age it is appropriate.
We also need to move away from the hierarchical top-down mode of education we use today.
It's called math.

Definition of ignore: refuse to take notice of or acknowledge; disregard intentionally.
A mountain doesn't ignore anything because it doesn't have the capacity to be aware of anything to then choose to ignore it.
How do you know? Have you asked the mountain?

The problem is that ordinary people can only do so much to prevent climate change, any real impact can only come from above, by goverment regulations and the ultra rich following those regulations and doing their part, unfortunately the filthy rich control the government and they would rather take 16 min flights in their private jets, the planet be damned

Don't forget to add 32 afterwards
And right there, that's why I should look things up before I open my mouth. I remembered the 9/5, and forgot the last part.

Just north of Seattle yesterday I was in my living room and the thermostat was 81 degrees. I was dying. I thought for a sec...if this gets to 100 we're just going to cook. But then I realized its still Fahrenheit. But wow! 50C is just such a crazy temp to even try staying alive in. That's fly away weather right there.

Work from home, buy less stuff, eat less meat, and most importantly throw all billionaires feet first into a wood chipper.
The problem is real. the past few years it's been raining as much as snowing during polar night in northern Norway.

There was the theory I read last year about billionaires not giving a shit that the world is getting worse because they were building bunkers and yachts and hoarding resources.
Knowing what I know about religious folks who also actively push for the end of the world to fight with angels or some shit, it checks out.
1 billion people doing a major life change would move the needle in fixing the world. But you can also get the same results with a few billionaires.

"Global warming" was always a weak formulation of the problem, and "climate change" is even weaker. I prefer "Anthropogenic runaway global heating" which has the handy acronym ARGH.
In german the term "climate catastrophe" (Klimakatastrophe) is used more and more often.

Nah but we're getting rid of the NASA satellites that monitor this so we won't see climate change anymore
"If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any," Trump asserted.

Just multiply by 9/5 and add 32 and the horror becomes apparent.
EDIT: added rest of formula because I'm an idiot
I usually just multiply by 2, subtract 10%, and then add 32. Usually easier than 9/5 and gives same result.

Not that I know of.

When it'll be too bad they'll say something like: "you mean poors! YOU have destroyed climate, so NOW we do not allow you do own anything and we'll monitor and restrict your use of everything to make sure you live in misery and stay unimpactful, while we can chill on our yachts and SAVE the WORLD. Be THANKFUL to us, the world would BURN without our action."
The line can't go down, and if climate itself dare to stop the growth, they better stop climate change.

Stop. Eating. Animals. Today.
It's not the solution, but is the easiest step everyone can take. No solution will ever be enough without us changing this habit.The solution is stop having children. It's far more effective than changing diet, living car free, recycling, et al combined.

Being on the nose and over the top is a stylistic choice that can be really wonderful
Right, but it can also be obnoxious to beat over the head with the same concept over and over. ]
It seems like critics just have a smug preference for subtlety and ambiguity
I don't know why you ascribe smugness to it, someone that watches movies for a living is obviously gonna prefer films that don't waste time telling the audience something more than necessary.
Since the audience seems to miss the same point over and over again, it might be less than necessary

I'm surprised there has been so little ecoterrorism in response to climate change.
Even though I understood what you meant and think you mean well, I have to say that I hate this word. Terrorism refer to "mass killing innocent civilians" to terrorise everyone. Those referred to by that word are not killing anyone, they are merely destroying inanimate objects or blocking roads... Nobody is terrorised by them, nobody fear for their life after their actions. We should call them "ecoactivists", or something like that.

The problem is deeper: I doubt any single government can stop the climate change, and any international agreements are doomed to fail because someone would say they are getting the short end of the stick with green stuff and nothing in return. Plus there would be no accountability for not meeting the targets.

In that same vein, frearms are now the leading, primary cause of death for children and teens, in the US.
Boomers largely do not believe this, I've argued with several even here on lemmy about this, provided data, studies, they never admit they're wrong.
Absolute explosion of mass shooting events, victims are far more likely to be Gen Z or Gen A.
Again, firearms have killed more children in the US than car crashes, cancer, etc, for several years in a row now.

Just checked this, you're right. It's a useful clarification that what the school teaches nowadays is also right but a different methodology. Schools often teach that accidents cause the most deaths, then health, then homicide, then suicide, and that car crashes are the most common kind of accidents. This is true.
On the other hand, if you group by both mechanism and intent (still among ages 15–19, though 10–14 is similar but at a smaller scale), you have unintentional car crashes in the lead, ahead of firearm homicide by about four hundred. Combine this with undetermined and accidental firearm deaths, and the lead shrinks to about three hundred. Meanwhile, there are over a thousand cases of suicide by firearms, and (nearly?) no logged cases of homicide by car.
