“We can think of climate change like a bullet about to leave a gun aimed for our heads. If it were a real gun and a real bullet, we’d react immediately and try to run for cover. But the climate change bullet is a bullet that won’t immediately kill us, and “we know it. It will take time for it to reach us, maybe a decade, or several decades, or even a century. We might not even be around when it hits, and instead of killing us, it will kill our children or our grandchildren, or someone else’s children, which makes the climate change bullet less frightening to us.”
