Warming generally sounds pretty good, not exigent

It’s hot now, but most heatwaves don’t tend to last more than a couple of weeks.

Climate disruption is ecologically problematic, but the arc of that issue plays out over generations.

In regard to each moment of time, each generation, each individual … if winter temperatures become more moderate, the majority of people won’t be motivated to prioritize countering global warming.

In fact, severe cold kills many more than severe heat:

Warmer winters would (net) save lives. And warmer winters are more comfortable.

Most people just have more to be concerned with than the broad arc of ecologically problematic climate disruption. Most people won’t do what’s needed to counter it, won’t vote for candidates who prioritize it. Many people will, but most won’t.

Eventually the ecological problems will have a deleterious effect to the extent of needing to be prioritized. That eventuality is a long way off.

As a Green, I like to prioritize the message about climate disruption anyway. It gives a sense of the general ecological disruption our lifeways are causing. At the moment it’s viewed as the most dramatic among a litany of catastrophic manifestations of our lifeways, others being:
. habitat destruction
. groundwater and general resource depletion
. topsoil loss/degradation
. chemical contamination
. acid rain
. deforestation
. desertification
. increased toxicity in the bodies of organisms (including our own)
. the number and size of “dead zones” in the oceans
. accelerating extinction of species and reduction of biodiversity
. micro-plastics in the oceans
. decimation of insect populations
. solid waste crisis (too much garbage)
. pandemics (due to disturbance of habitats and over-use of antibiotics)
. overpopulation
. social dislocation
