Has the world, in general, stopped caring about climate change? /u/RiemannZeta No such thing as stupid questions

I feel like from the mid 00’s to around COVID people talked about climate change, carbon footprint, etc. companies even advertised low carbon footprint items etc. before that was talk of the O-zone layer and acid rain in the 80’s and 90’s (though these are more or less solved now).

Climate change is happening and is an existential threat and we’re starting to see it rear its head (wildfires, warmer winters, stronger storms, etc). But I feel like I never hear anyone talk about trying to stop it anymore. Did we as a society just give up? Hell if LLMs came out 10 years ago I feel like there’d be a more palpable outrage over their carbon footprint.
