The reason the Free World is not hearing of tragedy occurring in communist counties is because they have no journalists to share these stories anymore. Their reporters are only allowed to publish propaganda.
These people reacted exactly the same as Americans. They were in disbelief of the severity of the climate.
Everyone was told for decade after decade of this outcome. People, no matter where in the world they are, don’t learn from such scientific insights. They only learn in the here and now. Politics has interfered with the best outcomes for climate. There are political leaders such as Trump that simply don’t care about the people and only focus on power issues such as money and “drill, babe, drill.”
Given these continued climate deaths, the abuse of Earth regardless of what we know, and huge numbers of deaths due to COVID-19, there is more magical thinking in the vapors of living than logic to bring about a practical world rather than a dreamscape of power and wealth. I have always been astounded by how willing adults are to look away from the truth to favor fantasy. That to me is just bizarre and being a sheep over the cliff of life.
I am sorry to hear of these tragedies, but, they were and are inevitable without leaders that believe in the truth and govern accordingly.
Leaders are supposed to lead and disdain the corruption of the best path forward. Doesn’t anyone believe in a child’s future anymore?
