The massive overreaction and resistance to COVID mandates gives us a bitter taste of what’s to come. Like, if a certain segment of the population can’t even handle relaxing at home for a little while and wearing pieces of cloth, they’ll sure be in for a rough awakening once the severity of the climate situation necessitates measures like, I don’t know, vegetarian mandates due to meat shortages, outdoor or N95 mask mandates for all the smoke like we’re seeing now, or water rationing like what California has been doing for drought.

Hey I don’t mean to nitpick but the preferred term nowadays is “First Nations”, thank you

You’re 100% right. But my point is, international cooperation is key, and every country has a part to play. As we’ve all seen during the COVID pandemic politicizing natural disasters is a recipe for disaster, and unfortunately, it appears as though we haven’t learnt a thing.
